Jennifer Morris represented a client charged with voyeurism, production of indecent images, possession of indecent images and possession of extreme pornography. Following submissions on mitigation, the defendant was sentenced to a 12 month custodial sentence.
The Attorney-General referred the sentence to the Court of Appeal Criminal Division as unduly lenient on three grounds.
Jennifer made written and oral submissions in response to the application. The Court of Appeal remarked these were ‘carefully considered submissions’. As a result, the Attorney-General’s application was refused, and the Court found the sentence passed could not be considered unduly lenient.
Jennifer was instructed by Michael Strauss of Shaw Graham Kersh Solicitors.
