Emma Lovell: Australian Who Killed UK Woman Eligible for Earlier Release After Appeal
The Court of Appeal reduced the juvenile's custodial term from 70% to 60% of a 14-year sentence after ruling the original term was excessive.
- On Friday, the Queensland Court of Appeal reduced the juvenile’s non-parole period to 60% of his 14-year term, varying his sentence on appeal.
- In June, the 20-year-old man argued his 70% custody requirement was manifestly excessive, with a three-judge panel finding the sentence was excessive given his age and early guilty plea.
- Following the break-in, Emma Lovell was stabbed in the heart and died shortly after arriving at hospital, watched by her two teenage daughters.
- Following the appeal decision, Emma’s loved ones expressed renewed anger, as neither the Queensland government nor the Lovell family has commented on the ruling.
- In the aftermath, Queensland’s 'adult crime, adult time' reforms, prompted by the North Lakes attack, mandate at least 20 years before parole for youth offenders.
