Andrew Harper apos;s Widow Demands Tougher Sentences For His Killers

LupitaFarrell:

Andrew Harper's widow Lissie has called for tougher sentences for her husband's teenage killers and said that 'the whole country stands with her' in a moving speech outside the High Court. Henry Long, 19, was jailed for 16 years and Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers, both 18 were each jailed for 13 years in July for the manslaughter of Thames Valley Police traffic officer PC Harper, 28, last year, just weeks after he married Lissie. The teenagers, all members of the travelling community, were convicted following a five-week trial when the court heard that after stealing a quad bike in Berkshire, their getaway car dragged PC Harper to his death after his ankle became caught in its trailing tow rope. Today, the government's top lawyer, Attorney General Suella Braverman, appeared at the High Court and appealed for tougher sentences to be given to the killers, slamming the ones previously handed to them for being 'unduly lenient'. And, speaking at the end of today's hearing, heartbroken Lissie added: 'I have every respect to the Attorney General for reaching the right decision in referring this case for review, I know that the majority of our country stands with her and with me in wanting change. 'Perhaps this may now go to show at the very least the urgency in which we need to be tougher and more prepared to shield our heroes from the atrocities that they continue to face.'

'Reaching a step closer to a fair outcome is something that I have strived towards for a long time. We have all hoped and prayed that our beloved boy's death will not go improperly punished.' Lissie said that despite her sorrow, she was proud to continue the fight for justice for her beloved husband. She declared: 'I stand before you today with my heart as heavy as it was those many months ago when I stood feeling let down and angry outside the Old Bailey.

Ms Braverman, 40 told three High Court judges that Long should have been convicted to life imprisonment while his two accomplices should have faced longer prison sentences. She said: 'Having correctly found that the first offender was dangerous and that this was a case of manslaughter very close to a case of murder in its seriousness the Judge was wrong not to impose a life sentence on the first offender (Long).' She added: 'Seriousness of an offence is very important criteria in sentencing. The fact is that they caused the death of a police officer acting in the course of his duties. These men put their lives at risk every single day. 'PC Harper paid the ultimate price for his bravery and this should be reflected in the sentencing.

Ms Braverman, who does not normally appear in court in her role as Attorney General described Long, Cole and Bowers as career criminals who committed a crime 'that was close to murder.' Referring to the convictions of Cole and Bowers, she told the High Court that they should have been sentenced to imprisonment for longer because they killed a police officer on duty. She also argued that their sentences were incorrectly reduced because the judge took into account their age and learning difficulties, which she claimed was 'excessive.' Tom Little QC, who appeared in court alongside the Attorney General, told the court that all three men must have known that PC Harper was being dragged by their car as they tried to escape. He added: 'The slalom like road markings was evidence of the driver trying to get rid of PC Harper who was being dragged from behind. 'They looked behind and saw PC Andrew Harper. From the moment they pulled away they must have known that they were dragging a police officer.' The High Court was told that even the Old Bailey judge at the trial of the three agreed that they must have known that somebody was being dragged by their car and that the jury should have found them guilty of murder based on this. Mr Little added: 'We say that this sits unhappily with what the jury decided.' Lawyers for the three convicted men argued against the Attorney General's case, claiming that they had no intention of killing or hurting anybody when they set out to steal the quadbike and described PC Harper's killing as a 'freak accident.' They also claimed that the sentences imposed on them were 'anything but lenient.' PC Harper's heartbroken wife Lissie attended the High Court appeal hearing today. They had been married just four weeks when he was killed The case was referred for appeal by Ms Suella Braverman under the scheme which allows crime victims, their families, prosecutors or the public to ask for a review of sentences they believe are too low. PC Harper's heartbroken wife Lissie attended the High Court appeal hearing, which was heard before Dame Victoria Sharp, the president of the Queen's Bench Division, Lord Justice Holroyde and Mr Justice William Davis. PC Harper and his wife had been married for just four weeks when he and a Thames Valley Police colleague responded to a late-night burglary in Berkshire last August. The court heard that when the officer's body was discovered by his colleagues after he had fallen away from the sling, he was completely naked except for his socks. A snaking trail of blood behind him marked the course of his body down the lane. When he was arrested at the Four Houses Corner travellers' site in Ufton Nervet, Berkshire, Long claimed he had been watching a Fast and Furious DVD at the time of the killing. He complained police were unfairly targeting [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=travellers&gs_l=news travellers] and said: 'I don't give a f*** about any of this,' when he was charged.

President Donald Trump has reportedly been in talks with his advisers about pardons for his children Ivanka, Eric and Don Jr, as well as his son-in-law Jared Kushner and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani. According to the [ ], the president is worried that a Biden administration may seek retribution against him by targeting the oldest of his five children. However, presidential pardons do not provide protection against state or local crimes. The president reportedly asked aides if he has the right to pardon himself and family members and has even asked if he could issue pardons pre-emptively for things people could be charged with in the future. Don Jr had been under investigation for contacts that he had with Russians offering damaging information on Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign. He was investigated by special counsel Robert Mueller but he was never charged.

Above, (From R) Barron Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, President Trump, Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump Jr, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Lara Trump, Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and Michael Boulos According to the Times, Kushner provided false information to federal authorities about his contacts with foreigners for his security clearance. Despite that, he was given a security clearance anyway. It's unclear why Trump is concerned about potential criminal exposure of Eric or Ivanka. But, the Times reported that a probe by the Manhattan district attorney into the Trump Organization is now including tax write-offs on millions of dollars in consulting fees, some of which appear to have gone to Ivanka. Earlier on Tuesday it was reported that, Giulani discussed a preemptive pardon for himself with Trump, while arguing he can overturn the results of an 'illegitimate election'.

It's unclear who brought up the idea, but their discussion took place last week, sources told the Times. On the day before Thanksgiving, Trump pardoned former [http://www.ehow.com/search.html?s=National National] Security Advisor Mike Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his Russia contacts, then sought to withdraw the plea in court. Giuliani has reportedly been under investigation by federal prosecutors in New York over his work in Ukraine, which became the heart of Trump's impeachment. The impeachment revealed efforts by Giuliani and his associates to push out the former US ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch. [http://sportsrants.com/?s=President%20Donald President Donald] Trump is said to have been asked by his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani for a pre-emptive pardon Draft documents revealed last [ ] Giuliani seeking to have Ukrainian government officials pay substantial fees to his consulting firm, although there is no evidence the deals went through. Giuliani denied the report on Twitter. '#FakeNews NYT lies again. Never had the discussion they falsely attribute to an anonymous source. Hard to keep up with all their lies,' he wrote. He represented Trump pro bono in his efforts to defend against the Democratic-led impeachment. The Times previously reported Giuliani is being paid $20,000 per day in his election defense, although he has denied that figure. On Monday, Giuliani associate Lev Parnas pleaded not guilty to defrauding in investors through the Florida-based company he set up, called Fraud Guarantee. The Ukraine-born Parnas assisted Giuliani in his efforts to dig up dirt on the Bidens in Ukraine. Parnas tweeted Tuesday 'Pardons were always discussed in the #TrumpCult. The question is will you accept one? Innocent people don't need a pardon.'

There is precedent for presidents using their virtually limitless pardon power preemptively. Gerald Ford famously preemptively pardoned Richard Nixon, and paid a political price for it. There has also been talk in legal circles about whether Trump could seek to issue a self-pardon in order to wipe away potential legal exposure for himself.

Giuliani was in Arizona on Monday attending a Republican-led hearing-style event where he laid out broad claims of election fraud even as the state's Republican governor [/news/fox-news/index.html Fox News][/news/fox-news/index.html Fox News] host Sean Hannity suggested Trump should pardon himself and his family before leaving the White House in January. The suggestion was made on Hannity's Fox News radio show on Monday while discussing how Trump last week announced a full pardon for his former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Speaking to former Trump attorney Sidney Powell - fired from Trump's 'elite strike force' legal team when her conspiracy theories went to far even for the president - Hannity suggested that the president needed to protect himself from future legal investigations in order to protect himself from the incoming Biden administration. Hannity said that Biden was being publicly encouraged to investigate and prosecute Trump for any criminal misconduct while he was president. 'The president out the door needs to pardon his whole family and himself, because they want this witch hunt to go on in perpetuity. They're so full of rage and insanity against the president,' Hannity said. 'I mean, I assume that the power of the pardon is absolute, and that he should be able to pardon anybody that he wants to?' 'It is absolute it's in the Constitution,' Powell confirmed. Powell, who has been key to pushing an election conspiracy that corrupt voting machines stole the election from Trump, then added that she did not know about Trump's 'authority to pardon himself'. Powell then went on to suggest that such a pardon should not be necessary because 'the president is going to get another four years in office to finish the job he started because the election fraud we're uncovering is massive'. Trump's pardon on Wednesday of Flynn kicked off speculation that a string of pardons could be next - including for the president and his family. The president has granted clemency to supporters before, most notably earlier this year when he commuted the criminal sentence of Roger Stone, who was sentenced to prison after being convicted of lying under oath to lawmakers. In 2018, Trump even said he had the 'absolute right' to pardon himself - a claim many constitutional law scholars dispute. After he pardoned Flynn, Trump shared a tweet on Wednesday from Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, one of his closest allies on Capitol Hill, who said the president should also consider a pardon for himself. 'President Trump should pardon Flynn, the Thanksgiving turkey, and everyone from himself, to his admin, to Joe Exotic if he has to,' Gaetz wrote. <div class="art-ins mol-factbox news" data-version="2" id="mol-1d0d1070-33fd-11eb-96dc-7defd57b17af" website 'discusses pardons for Ivanka, Eric and Don Jr'
