He thought he was a hard man? He looks effeminate. Nothing wrong with that, but to call yourself a hard man, looks like he was running away from who he really was.

Not wanting to step on your toes Legally, but here is another interview with the family from the Manchester Evening News:

'They said she wasn’t in danger - they said she was fine and the police were always there when she needs them. But they just didn’t help her'

You're not stepping on anyone's toes, Karen. The more people who post the better, whether it's opinions or articles/updates.

I still can't get over how horrific this crime was. I'm happy they got decent sentences, although I think they deserved full life sentences.

 

[Horror]

Legally Bland thanks again for updates.

The childrens funeral is planned for tomorrow (I'd assumed the funeral had already taken place), sadly Michelle is still too ill to attend

Michelle Pearson's tributes to each of her children
Michelle Pearson’s tribute also mentioned each of her children in turn.

Of Lia, three, she said: “She is dead clever, big blue eyes and a smile that melted your heart.”

Of Lacie, who was seven when she was killed, she said: “She loves to dance and sing. She would turn the TV on and just sing and dance along. It makes me smile just thinking about it.”

She described Brandon, eight, as ‘a little architect in the making. He promised me he would build me a house’.

Paying tribute to 15-year-old Demi, Michelle said: “We did a lot together. She was my best friend.”

Just heartbreaking.

Oh that poor woman. Too sad.

I live three streets away from this and it has affected the whole community. My son was at school with Demi. I know that Courtney has launched an appeal, but the other two haven’t. The family keep the house covered in tributes to the children, it is all so sad and meaningless.

I'm so sorry Sally, for you, the community, and of course most of all for Michelle. What a senseless crime.

Courtney Brierley’s appeal is next week as well.

 

[Legally Bland]

From last month:
_______________

A woman jailed over a petrol bomb attack that killed four children has lost an appeal against her conviction.

[...]

Brierley, who was cleared of murder at a trial at Manchester Crown Court, appealed against her conviction, arguing it was inconsistent with the jury's verdicts in relation to Bolland and Worrall.

Lord Justice Holroyde, sitting with Mr Justice Warby and Mr Justice Julian Knowles, said: "There is no arguable ground on which the safety of the convictions can be challenged."

Fatal fire conviction appeal rejected

 

[KarenUK]

Good!
