Sara Sharif was let down by her manipulative father, her wicked stepmother and a broken system which doesn’t have enough resource and the caseloads are disturbingly high. To single out a judge or judges is a bit much.

exactly that. it's like a bloody witch hunt.
does the car dealer who sold someone a car and then they murder someone with it 4 years down the line get named? no. it's honestly ridiculous.
yes the system is broken. yes people did wrong. but they made a choice with the information they had and sometimes their hands are tied with the powers they have.
to name them is ridiculous.
The thing is they almost always do name the judges regardless of whether they made a decision that led to death or a decision that saved a life which is why in this case the media are pushing for it - it is very very unusual for there to be a gag order issued preventing them from naming the judge.
I absolutely see why there would be a gag order in this instance, but it’s not just the media pushing to hang, draw and quarter them - it’s the media pushing for normal practise to be followed, which in this country is the identity of the judge being public knowledge that can be reported.
Twisting it to act like naming would be unusual and out of the norm and only done to single out a judge is classic tabloid behaviour tbh. The norm is to name - in this case the current situation is out of the norm and the media campaign is to bring it back in line with that norm.
They are all appealing their sentences, hopefully it backfires and they get more. I don't see them getting less.
Perhaps, but I also feel strongly that courts should be transparent and (I’m not a lawyer) wouldn’t want anonymity to be set as a precedent. There’s lots of literature out there suggesting the lack of transparency in the family courts already causes harm to women and children surviving domestic abuse.
I think it’s likely they’ll have weak grounds to appeal, might not even be accepted. I mean, he admitted everything, and she didn’t say a word so what do they have to appeal about?
Anonymity isn’t the precedent, and if the information is relevant in court proceeding moving forward it won’t be hidden. It’s just being hidden from the media. I genuinely don’t understand why people want to know who the judge is, what will it change? Surely letting the reports etc happen would be better than some vigilante finding his house??
Also there’s literature that suggests lots of things. There isn’t a single piece of literature that suggests hounding a judge 5 years after a decision they made is beneficial to anyone
Let’s face it, the judge has anonymity precisely because of the witch hunt risk. The people who need to know the name, they know it.
How absolutely disgusting....
Sentence review bid made for Sara Sharif's father
The Solicitor General has referred Urfan Sharif's sentence to the Court of Appeal.
www.bbc.com
Sentence for Urfan Sharif being reviewed for being too lenient
That’s a twist in the tale I wasn’t expecting!
Good news nonetheless
Me either, his sentencing is in line with previous & more than most parent-child murders get so I wonder how much more they’ll add on? And what the aggravating factors are that the AG will put forward - will give insight into why they think it’s too lenient
Wonder if it is pre emptive to stop his sentence being reduced
I wonder if the Judge didn’t have the confidence to try a Whole Life Order so hit him with as much as possible for Murder. Then the Appeal court can do the work on whether it should be more.
That monster wants to continue living but his daughter never stood a chance....

I think you could be correct here. A WLO would’ve gone to appeal and possibly reduced. This way there is scope to increase the original sentence and even set a precedent when the treatment of the child is particularly abhorrent and sustained to the point of triggering the sadistic element of the tariff. Either way he’s going to spend his last days locked up which is the best we could’ve hoped for. I think it’s standard these days for murderers to appeal their sentence, you see it all the time. Seems a waste of resources to me and shows lack of remorse in my eyes. It’s given me some degree of satisfaction that it’s being referred for being too lenient in the case of this scumbag.
I wonder what good will come of this? As others have pointed out, there was obviously felt to be good reasons to grant anonymity but the public’s thirst for retribution seems to have been given precedence.Appeal won to name Sara Sharif's family court judges
