Lloyd, Shaun

Shaun Lloyd was convicted at Cardiff Crown Court in December 2005 of robbery and received a DYPP with a minimum term of 33 months.

He was 18 at the time of sentencing. At the time of referral, he remained subject to that sentence in custody after being recalled. Leave to appeal was refused by the Single Judge in February 2014 and the Full Court in June 2014. He applied to the CCRC in January 2026. 

Reviewing this case, the CCRC considered the impact of recent Court of Appeal judgments, in particular R v Williams [2024] EWCA Crim 686 and R v Davis & Others [2026] EWCA Crim 743, and concluded that there was a real possibility the Court would find that the sentencing judge did not give sufficient weight to the age and immaturity of Mr Lloyd when assessing his dangerousness and future risk.   

The CCRC referred the sentence in September 2026.
