I've just been doing a bit of googling on the Great Harwood case.
Life for businessman rapist who stalked young women at night - Law - Times Online

I noticed that the rapist's tariff was set at 18 years but that he will probably only serve 9 years. He had spent 17 months on remand and for some reason time spent in prison prior to sentencing seems to be knocked off the final sentence.

They reckon he'll be eligible for parole in 7 and a half years.....so what was the point in originally saying 18 years?
