Baby P
Yet another ridiculous farce by the British justice system on the sentencing of the killers of Baby P. An indefinite sentence for the mother but she could possibly only serve five years. Life for her boyfriend but he could be out in 12 years. What has come of the judicial review where sentences for those who commit sickening crimes like this were supposed to be toughened up? Now criminals just have to play the games: pleading guilty on grounds of diminsihed responsibility; then get leniant sentences and suddenly get better in time for early release. This is not justice - this is literally letting killers get away with murder.

As a bye word to this posting, why not contact the Attorney General's office if you, like me, feel that this sentencing is not fair. It is your right to appeal any sentence that any judge in England or Wales has passed down if you feel either way that the sentence length is unfair. The Attorney General's office email is lslo@gtnet.gov.uk . The Attorney General has the power to review and refer unduly leniant sentences to the Court of Appeal for re-sentencing.
