Lucy's story started out as a compounded tragedy, but she has emerged as an increasingly popular prison reform and free speech campaigner. Children were and are the focus of her life. Her story commences with the heartbreak of losing her only son, Harry, due to woeful medical negligence by the NHS. Raw from this loss (it will haunt her forever) she learnt of the horrific slaughter of children playing at a dance group in Southport. In the heat of the moment, she fired-off a tweet: figurative comments; emotional hyperbole. It was done in a moment of helpless frustration and taken down 3 hours later. Her tweet had, however, been harvested by the hard core left and biased MSM. She was arrested a week later, charged under the public order act and immediately remanded into custody, no bail granted. She was sentenced to a custodial sentence of 31 months. How did a mother, childminder and wife, a Tory Councillors wife no less, who has never been on the wrong side of the law end up serving a 31 month custodial sentence? Was it a Tweet too Far? Is our judiciary independent? Do we have a two tier justice system in the UK?
Lucy tells her story of how she navigated life behind bars and the judiciary.
