Exactly this. She is rotten to the core. She is showing her blatant contempt for the victims. I don’t think she is doing herself any favours with the judge who has the final say on her sentence…it’s good in a way as this contempt will get his back up personally

She is disgusting I really hope she gets a whole life tarriff now he has found the intent to kill !

 

[Tangled Spaghetti]

Drag her up the stairs just like she dragged Arthur to be force fed salt… hope this is just as bitter and tortuous for her. The emojis on this website are not angry enough to express my rage

Yes never thought of it like that! If it gets her more time, that will be good

Statement from Arthur's mother
Madeleine Halcrow, Arthur's grandmother, is called into the main court to read a victim impact statement on behalf of her daughter, Arthur's mother, Olivia Labinjo-Halcrow.

She says: "How has losing my only child Arthur affected my life? It's impossible to put into words what losing Arhur has done to me. It hasn't affected my life, it has destroyed my life. Arthur alone was my life, my purpose and reason for living.

"The last time I spoke to my little boy was the most excited I had ever heard him. He knew he was going to see me soon. He asked how many packets of drumstick squashies I had saved him. I told him he could have as many packets as he wanted as long as he ate his sausage, mash and peas first."

Ms Labinjo-Halcrow's statement goes on to say Arthur is yet to have a funeral yet, and she is 'heartbroken' at the thought of his body being stored alone in a cold box.

She claims she has been blocked from having access to Arthur's body in order to lay him to rest. More on that to follow.

It’s just her last way to give the final insult that she really doesn’t care. She reminds me so much of Myra Hindley, not a scrap of decency or remorse in her at all. She will appeal, I’m sure of it. But just like Hindley’s numerous appeals they will all be rejected. She will die in prison, I feel confident that she will not be released

Blatant comtempt, I agree. I feel like we've all been robbed. This is the moment we were waiting for and she's denied us that. She has also denied the victims by not being present for their impact statements. I cannot believe she is allowed to do this.

 

[JimSteel]

And she won’t hear why the judge chooses these sentences and what he thinks of the whole thing? How is that allowed????

She must realise she's one of the most hated women in Britain now, she's showing her true cowardice self. I hope she's feeling 100 x the fear Arthur felt.

 

[SpursGyal]

I feel like I'm walking around with all the lights turned off'
Ms Halcrow continues her daughter's statement and says: "He giggled his usual giggle. I will never again hear that giggle or hear him say 'I love you mommy bear'.

"He will never get his drumstick squashies. I will never get to see the smile behind his eyes. Never get to remind him how beautiful he was and how much he was loved.

"Life as I know it will never exist again. Losing Arthur is unqauntifiable. I don't think I will ever be able to live a full life again. Grief isn't the right word. How I feel about losing baby bear Arthur. I feel hollow.

"Every day I feel like I'm walking around with all the lights turned off."

A victim personal statement has been read to court on behalf of Arthur’s mother Olivia Labinjo-Halcrow. She said her son’s death has destroyed her life. "He was my reason for living", she added.

I don’t think it’s cowardice, it’s because it’s her last chance to show her disdain and pure contempt for Arthur. She disgusts me

 

[Mellowmelly]

Well she should have at least 30 years to find out what he said, I'm sure she'll want to listen to it at some point if she decides to appeal, so she can know how to manipulate the courts

She won’t hear it in court, but she will hear it, she will also have a sentencing report she can read through at HMP.

Arthur’s grandmother (paternal) read a statement on behalf of her family. Joanne Hughes described Arthur as “happy, joyous and exuberant”. His death, she said, had turned their lives into “perpetual grey”.

Could be both, she disgusts me too.

This is what ET is showing her contempt for, all of the victims in this case. She doesn’t care one iota and wants them to know that by her not being present

Tustin tried to take own life in prison
Breaking off from the victim impact statements for a moment as the trial moves on to Tustin's mitigation.

Ms Prior tells the court Tustin has been bullied in prison. She confirms Tustin tried to take her own life during the trial by taking an overdose and attempting to hang herself.

The barrister states a doctor assessed her as fit to continue.

Ms Prior adds she will remain a suicide risk.

I don't know how that mitigates the crime at all.
