I don't think there is any hope of a sentencing review, because the prosecution accepted that Rosdeep didn't intend to kill Mikaeel. With her intelligence, she'll be a model prisoner I bet, and be out in no time.
I'm sorry (and I'm addressing the court ruling not you Zwiebel) but anyone knows that repeatedly beating a 3 year old, over a number of days, is likely to kill them. Anyone knows that failing to get medical attention for a child who had been badly beaten is likely to kill them. Anyone knows that beating a child who is already ill, and vomiting, is likely to kill them. Anyone knows that a child who has shown no signs of improvement over a few years, and is showing signs of deterioration, and still ignores this, is likely to die.
The only signs of remorse she is showing, is remorse that her lies didn't work and that she is going to have to miss out on the party scene for a few years.
I'm actually ashamed to be British today - our courts and legal system are a joke. 11 years for killing your own child, beating him over and over whilst he was ill, and leaving him in pain for days, with no comfort, is plain evil. They'll probably give her the other children back once she is released too - obviously no risk to them as it was only poor little Mikaeel she hated.
I wonder if she was an over-weight, unattractive woman from a 'sink estate' would she have been treated any different? Because it seems to me that she has fooled the people judging her into giving her a very soft sentence, and I can't think of any reason why... except that she 'doesn't look like a cold blooded killer'. Just MOO.
Forget the "struggling single mum", forget the "depression". There is NO excuse. I spent years as a single mum of 5 children, with no family around to help. I also held down a full-time job at that time ....whilst being treated and medicated for depression. And not one single time did I beat any of my children. Neither did I leave them on their own to go out. And I had no support from their father either. No excuses for her behaviour whatsoever. My mum was abused in a children's home for 14 years, she has never done a single thing wrong to me and my siblings, despite having the most awful childhood. So, even though Rosdeep suffered the loss of her father when young - it has no bearing at all. My mum was mistreated by her parents, removed into care and mistreated there, until she was old enough to leave.... yet she doesn't use that as an excuse to inflict violence on people.
I'm actually sickened by this sentence. 11 years ...... even if she serves the full sentence, she'll still be out before Mikaeel's 18th birthday.
