I only wish the maximum sentances available were much much longer. Thinking of you Davina and family, I hope now the case is over it may go some way to helping you find peace and a little closure after this dreadful ordeal. Much love to you all.

Can anyone tell me why he was sent to a young offenders place and not general prison ? He is 19, not a child !
Does anyone know where the sentancing guidelines are that say the difference between murdering a human being and a horse is probably 15 years and 6 months ??

Lorraine, he cannot go to a general prison until he is 21. I asked that question myself. But don't worry - he is with people who are as crazy as he is!
With regards to the difference between murdering a human and murdering a horse is concerned - well, I was told that we would lose support if I compared Maggies night of terror with Jamie Bulgers case??? Sorry, have I said too much or are we all thinking the same? Please don't shoot me.

You are not going to get shot here. You all have total support and hopefully if the campaign gets off the ground, we might have some hope that future laws will see proper sentencing for all murders.

Maggie was Davinas Baby, Maggie was murdered, if you attack a living being with a weapon its murder.
Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is--whether its victim is human or animal--we cannot expect things to be much better in this world... We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in killing we set back the progress of humanity. -- Rachel Carson

St4ffsmum, that quote says it all. It has been 40+ years since that was written ....... how sad that nothing has changed in that time !!
Can we use that quote to head any communications we use ??

It's a shame the judge was not brave enough to refer to County Court for the sentencing, but then we are in soft old UK.
The one thing about this is he will have to come out into the real world at some point and face people who will remember.

I WONDER WETHER THE MAN WHO STOOD AS THE B.H.S REP BELIEVED WHAT HE WAS SAYING? NO PASSION OR DEPTH IN WHAT HE SAID. AT THE END HE REMINDED US HOW WE CAN FIND THE B.H.S WEBSITE. ''MAGGIES LAW'' MUST BE FOR REAL JUSTICE NOT TRAVESTIES

If he's old enough to do the crime he's old enough to do the time!

Davina, you are so strong and although the sentence was too short, I hope those evil people feel the hatred directed towards them for what they have done.
RIP Maggiem, and love to you Davina and all of your friends and family x
