Taborda & Anor v Rex [2026] EWCA Crim 627 (20 May 2026)
The Court of Appeal upheld convictions for allowing the death of a child and child cruelty, refused fresh expert evidence, and reduced one sentence.
The Court of Appeal upheld convictions for murder, child cruelty, allowing a child's death, and perverting justice, while reducing one sentence on appeal.
The Court of Appeal upheld sentences for Michael, Kerry and Shannon Ives arising from the murder and cruelty of two-year-old Ethan Ives-Griffiths.
The force used was properly categorised as very significant, but did not amount to very high culpability. The offending fell within category 2B of the sentencing guidelines, and the sentence imposed was within the reasonable range available to the Recorder. Leave to refer the sentence as unduly lenient was refused.
Source excerpt
The proposed grounds of appeal are unarguable as all issues were fully canvassed at trial, the evidence was sufficient, and the judge's directions were comprehensive and fair.
