I was also glad to see a decent sentence.
I hope she isn't given leave to appeal - it isn't a minute too long, and many would argue is 4 years too short (me among them)
Genevieve's family have been given a life sentence. Can they sue the nursery owners? I hope that they can, and do. This should never have happened.

Thank you - you posted this just as I posted my query.
This is a poor sentence in my opinion.
She should have got more.
Vile creature.

I'm so pleased that the family of Victoria Hall will finally get justice. Goodness knows how many other victims of Steve Wright there were before Victoria and in between her death and the crimes he was caught for.
Thanks for this. Does this mean she could have been sentenced to between 8-18 years? What does the starting point of 12 mean?
I think the judge is wrong in deciding Roughley is not a danger to the wider public re: no life sentence. If she can kill even one baby, a crime so abhorrent it makes most of us feel sick to think about it, who is to say she won't kill more?
My heart goes out to Gigi's parents, reading them describing their pain made me cry. Her poor big sister, too.

They start from a sentence of 12 years and time is then either deducted for mitigating factors or added on for aggravating factors but the full sentence must still fall within the 8-18 years time frame.
I really hope so. Genevieve’s parents are a barrister and a solicitor. I hope they have some fight left in them and some supportive peers who can ruin everyone involved.
The CCTV the jury had to watch must have been horrific. I don't know how you would ever get that out of your mind.
I am so repulsed by this I don't even know what to say.
Why would any country do this? Utterly horrifying beyond belief. Where on earth are we headed? I am as ever so relieved I didn't have children.
12 years is more than I expected (although I would like it to be more). I do hope that there can be action taken against the owners.
Thank you, very helpful
I am quite hardened to stuff generally but I just can't bear to read read anything about Genevieve.
The betrayal of trust is just sickening. To put your trust in someone to care for your innocent baby is huge. For most parents they probably feel guilty enough about using childcare, spent hours finding the right setting etc.
I'm not one for vengeance usually but if my child came to serious harm in a setting that was supposed to care for her in loco parentis I think I'd struggle not to spend the rest of my life destroying the person who did its life. Prison would just be the start.
Her poor, poor parents. I don't know how you'd ever trust anyone ever again. I don't think I'd ever be able to let them out of my sight again.

Watching the first ep of cold cases after reading here and Jesus H Christ!
How bleeping mad (great) is it that they could get dna from a case in 1983!!!!! I’m 40 next year and that assault happened before even I was born!!!!! Utterly mind blowing that they could get a suspect in 2022! Thanks to whoever recommended

I remembered this a week or so back and wondered if there had been any further action. How many families out there waiting for justice lost their loved ones to this bastard?
Poor girl just a few yards from home after her first nightclub visit
Well, hang on - let's see what the evidence is first maybe.....?
For those that haven't seen the story:
Steve Wright charged with 1999 murder of Victoria Hall
Seventeen-year-old Victoria was last seen alive in the early hours of 19 September 1999 in Suffolk.

I wonder if that can’t be done until this verdict was in, or even if it has been done but is under reporting restrictions so as to not influence this trial

I hope there will be restrictions on her working with children after her release, so they think the risk is minimal.
God forbid she ever has her own baby

Civil proceedings can’t start until the criminal trial is concluded.
I am sure they will sue. The “ management “ if you can call them that have conveniently fucked off to their house in France.
Utter disgrace.
There were NO mitigating circumstances here. She should have got longer.
I am so upset by this case. Bless that little mite.

Hopefully that's very unlikely. She'll be 46 when she gets out if she serves around 9 years.
