Who has now retracted it apparently. Really stop politicising it and read the appeal judgement.

They really really aren't. Where she f'up is possibly she was unaware of how twitter (particularly) has changed.
It's now a cesspit of extreme right wing views, anyone who uses it knows that the algorithms have changed. Her "tweet" was actually a broadcast...

Violent criminals could be let out early for good behaviour under new proposals
The landmark sentencing review calls for fewer custodial sentences and earlier prison releases.

Not sure if keeping her locked up is in keeping with releasing violent prisoners early.....

The Appeal judgement mentioned her social media history. Her phone was full of racist, nasty comments, so the one she posted wasn’t a one off.
Three Appeal judges confirmed the rejection.
Using her ‘young mother’ status is deliberately emotive. I also wonder if her physical appearance is also deliberate as she is good looking.
I suspect if she had been an older woman with wrinkles, fewer people would be backing her.
Strange though that a school teacher can be forced into hiding (for 4 years now) and not a single person has been arrested for making death threats against them

Given the capacity crisis is in male prisons and not female ones, are you suggesting she should be let out and violent male offenders moved into women’s prisons?Violent criminals could be let out early for good behaviour under new proposals

They appeared in court in January at Liverpool Magistrates Court. It was sent to Liverpool Crown Court on 13th February, pleading not guilty, and the trial is in June.

Interesting to read that the maximum sentence she could have got was 7 years. She got off too lightly.

Given @Thunder Bolt's excellent deconstruction of your post, do you still feel like you have a point? Do you still feel there is some sort of two tier, justice system wokery going on? Or do you feel like you've been misled by pernicious social media accounts?

Visibly it seems a long time to have to wait for it to go to court as is Ricky Jones long awaited trial. Mike Amesbury however can get sentenced, appeal and released by a crown court judge within 3 days.
Meanwhile Tommy Robinson......

Well. Maybe that's because he pleaded guilty?

Does a guilty plea affect the length of time between sentence and appeal then ?, If so then I wasn't aware of that.

If someone pleads guilty then the prosecution doesn't have to build the case against them. They've owned up. This is what takes the time.
Now, not everyone has knowledge of how the criminal justice system works. But I can 100% guarantee you, that the people on whatever sites led you to believe there was a comparison between the two situations and it was somehow evidence of a two tier justice system, absolutely knew the difference and set out to deliberately mislead you.

I'm not talking about the time to build a case against them, I'm talking about him being sentenced to 10 weeks in prison but is able to get an appeal heard at crown court 3 days later where the sentence is reduced and he walks free.

Your timeline is out.
He pleaded guilty on 16th January at Chester Magistrates court. He appealed his sentence 27th February, which by any stretch of the imagination is not 3 days.
When did Lucy apply for an appeal hearing?
Are you aware that different areas have different waiting times depending on the number of crimes committed, guilty pleas and adjournments?
