Emma Hall had her minimum jail term reviewed at the Court of Appeal in London today after the country’s senior law office, Attorney General Dominic Grieve said it was “unduly lenient”.
Emma Hall, 21 of Crow Lane, was one of a gang of three who were given life sentences following a trial at the Old Bailey in April for the murder of 18-year-old Luke Harwood.
Hall was jailed alongside housemates, James Danby and Tony O’Toole of murdering Luke.
