Focus of the Day story:
Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme has notched up 30 years on the calendar since its launch in February 1989. The scheme was introduced following public outrage over a series of controversial sentencing decisions, including the 1986 ‘Ealing vicarage rape’ case where a 21-year was raped by burglars at her father’s vicarage.
