17 months not enough IMO.
I thought so too. Now whilst I don't know the full details, the sentencing guidelines for GBH with a weapon is a baseline of 18 months and a range of 12 months to 3 years. For a first time offender without much in the way of other aggravating factors, 17 months seems about right (you can argue that the guidelines are wrong if you like, but that's a separate issue - he got prosecuted for the correct thing and sentenced in accordance with the guidelines).
