Lets hope common sense prevails.

Ah, scroll down past the Eurovision Song contest and the latest soap opera gossip and you'll find the story of interest.

Kirk, I know that your campaign against this man and his partners in crime is 100% justified, and win or lose you're going to be a pain to him, which is exactly what he deserves.

Dave,

That is such a good point. The conviction/sentence is the ultimate goal of course, but these perps are learning a bit about the hell that they made others endure, the difference being how richly they deserve whatever torment they are receiving.

Kirk,

I emailed tim strevvens regarding appeal, I got an email saying it would be replied to within 20 days, that was 10th feb.
They did say they were looking into it.

I have since emailded him for an update.
No reply!

Did you find anything else out?

It seems to have just gone cold,

Another lost one, they are not appealling his sentence.

The Attorney's decision to refer, or not to refer, a case to the Court of
Appeal is taken only after careful consideration of all the facts and
circumstances of the case and the relevant sentencing guidelines and
authorities.

The Court of Appeal has said that a sentence is unduly lenient where "it
falls outside the range of sentences which the judge, applying his mind to
all the relevant factors, could reasonably consider appropriate".

(Attorney
General's Reference number 4 of 1989 (1990) 90 CR App R 366). Therefore in
order for the Attorney to refer it to the Court of Appeal it must be not
just low but "manifestly not sufficiently severe" (Attorney General's
Reference numbers 31, 45, 43, 42, 50 and 51 of 2003 [2004] EWCA Crim).

This is part of what I got,

blah, blah, blah,

Thanks you heard before I did. I really didnt expect them to entertain the appeal but as the old saying goes "nothing ventured, nothing gained". It may have caused Denning a liitl bit of worry .... but somehow I doubt it.

"Lets grab this bull by the horns and swing it about a bit"

The AG is upholding an appeal against those two who assaulted a baby with good reason.
The public outcry on their sentence got him to take notice and appeal with five judges.

The sentence was light because they pled guilty to this case, but only after the cops hit them with pictorial evidence, so a guilty plea should not deter a longer sentence as it was gained under damning evidence.

If there was a similar public outcry over a serial pedo, like denning, then they may well have reopened the case.

So much for justice/injustice,
