One of them has been found guilty of manslaughter. Why not murder?

[emmie]

LB, surely she must go to jail. and for a very long time.

[emmie]

if she ends up in a Mental Health Institution then there is no justice in that.

[davebro]

No expert but I think she will get life with a minimum term between 15 & 20 years. If she is diagnosed with some mental illness she may serve her time in a secure mental hospital - Rampton. Presumably she didn't plead insanity at trial.

[ladybirder]

I would hope so but as her mental health is questionable due to her suicide attempts I thought she might be detained elswhere. Hasn't that happened to other killers in the past?

[emmie]

it has happened to other killers in the past. I sincerely hope she gets the maximum that can be doled out, and in prison not some hospital.

[burlyshirley]

Does anybody know what the sentences are yet ? Mail Online just says that she won't come out of her cell to face justice. They should damn well make her !!

[dannyk13]

Won't do her any good refusing to go into the dock.
//
Her barrister, Mary Prior, confirmed she had spoken to Tustin and informed her the hearing would continue in her absence.//

[burlyshirley]

No news yet ?

[dannyk13]

Justice has been done ,she 's got life:-

As shame life doesn't mean life, but I hope she is made to do every second of that sentence.

//I would hope so but as her mental health is questionable due to her suicide attempts//

Why do people have to interfere when vermin tries suicide, let her go ahead.

[ladybirder]

She's got a minimum of 29 years.

[burlyshirley]

Thank you. 29 years is nowhere near enough. I was hoping for a whole life sentence. He got 21 I see. Rot in hell.

[davebro]

presume his sentence is not a minimum term so he will probably get out in 10

[anneasquith]

Was there ever going to be a suitable sentence for these people? I think not .
I have not been following this case, nor have I listened to this poor child’s voice. Much too harrowing. Poor wee laddie . RIP .

[Mamyalynne]

Agree Anne, no sentence is ever enough in such cases.

[bhg481]

The 29 years is the minimum before release can even be considered; whole life is the expected sentence.

[Canary42]

It really defies belief. And the agonies the Jury must have suffered - probably haunt them for life.

I guess the CPS feared that the murder case might have not stuck, although I feel pretty sure it would have.

What really *** me off is the number of Social Services hoops that my brother and his wife had to jumped through before they got the go-ahead to adopt, yet these slime-balls get away with murder (literally) - where were Social Services when they were really required.

[dannyk13]

Canary, even if she had been convicted of murder I don't think the sentence would have been any greater.
