The Supreme Court has called a jailed man's sentence "well beyond excessive punishment" - and a breach of the Bill of Rights.

The sentence comes down to the Three Strikes Law - and his lawyer says he wants the law repealed.

Wellington man Daniel Clinton Fitzgerald will now be resentenced.

Fitzgerald's lawyer Kevin Preston spoke to Corin Dann.
