Highlights
  • Kemi Badenoch said Connolly’s release was harsher than sentences for bricks thrown at police or actual rioting, highlighting a debate on proportionality and public safety.
  • Connolly left HMP Peterborough after serving 40% of her sentence and will remain on licence for the rest of it, with the timeline framed by coverage across outlets.
  • The Court of Appeal did not intervene, ruling the sentence was not manifestly excessive as reported by Guardian coverage and others.
