I was at the gym this morning and flipping through a newspaper there when I saw an article that made me choke on my powerade – Stephen Barker and his brother Jason Owen are to appeal their recent convictions and their efforts will be financed by the British taxpayer.

That’s them to the left – as if nobody knows them by now…and to hell with those unfair reporting restrictions. We are footing their immoral actions, we are paying their legal team’s bills, so we have every right to know their names and what their ugly faces look like.

Barker has launched an attempt to overturn his convictions for the rape of Peter Connolly’s sister and the part he played in the little boy’s death. In a move that defies all logic and belief in what is loosely termed as British Justice his lawyers have now lodged papers appealing against both convictions and both sentences with the Court of Appeal. The same is being done on behalf of Barker’s brother Jason Owen, whose name was changed to try and protect the identity of the child-killing Stephen Barker.

The role that mother Tracey Connolly plays in this disgusting state of affairs highlights the vile individual that she is. She denied all the allegations against Barker, leaving no reasonable person in doubt that the evil trio systematically conspired to inflict as much pain and suffering on that little boy as possible until he died and then continued to do so in order to try to get out of paying for their repugnant crimes.

Now, courtesy of the British taxpayer, representatives of our supposedly ‘admired’ legal system are aiding and abhetting their efforts to escape justice. That little boy lies scattered as ashes – and we are paying British lawyers for them to be ground into the earth with the soles of their filthy shoes.

Makes you proud to be British eh folks…?

And now for the final insult…

There was some hope recently when, in response to the outcry over the lenient sentencing of Tracey Connolly, Stephen Barker and Jason Owen, the case was taken up by Attorney General Baroness Scotland.

She was to revise the ludicrous sentences passed down by Judge Stephen Kramer QC and explore the possibility of them being extended – proper time to match the crime. But we were all dreaming if we thought justice was going to be served in this case.

Baroness Scotland has decided that there is not going to be a revision of the sentences and the trio of murderers will not spend any extra time in prison for what they did to little Peter. In fact, as I said above, two of the monsters just might get out of it all together. She has stated that the sentences were “entirely merited”.

That this announcement comes from a public servant – as is the position of Attorney General – is bad enough, but one that is a woman just makes me sick. Or am I being incredibly naive there to assume a woman would look at this differently…

Yes I am. In her decision Baroness Scotland has effectively proclaimed that Peter’s suffering and murder was, in the end, ‘entirely merited’. In my opinion these three are only being imprisoned to protect them from public reprisals and not for what they did to that poor little boy. If anyone sitting in a position of power had any balls - the Baroness included – those three would never see the light of day again.

Just a reminder about what was done to Peter Connolly…

It has to be asked, not for the first time and certainly not the last: Just how bad does it have to be for justice to be served that suits the crime. If a baby being tortured and killed is not ‘bad enough’ then god help children in this nation. A nation where the best interests of the criminal always comes first.
