These feral scum
Intentionally kicked this poor woman to death just because she intervened when they started on her boyfreind because he was dressed differently.
Just what the hell do they have grounds to appeal on. They are guilty and by their actions show that they hve no regard for human life. Lock them away permanently.
Two teenage boys jailed for life for the murder of a woman who was killed for dressing as a Goth have lodged an appeal against their sentences.
Sophie Lancaster, 20, was kicked and stamped to death by Brendan Harris, 15, and Ryan Herbert, 16, in Stubbylee Park in Bacup, Lancashire, last summer.
The pair turned on her as she tried to get them and three other youths to stop attacking her boyfriend, Robert Maltby.
Harris was sentenced to a minimum of 18 years and Herbert to 16 years.
High Court
Harris had denied murder, but was convicted in March, while Herbert pleaded guilty before the trial started.

The three youths who pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent on Mr Maltby have also appealed against their sentences.
Brothers Joseph, 17, and Danny Hulme, 16, both of Landgate, Whitworth, near Bacup were sentenced to five years and 10 months each, while Daniel Mallett, 17, of Rockcliffe Drive, Bacup, was sentenced to four years and four months.
The cases will now go before a High Court judge to decide if there is a basis for the appeal.
I'm sick of living in a society where the rights of the victim are suborned by the rights of the criminal just because they happen to be in the demographic most likley to vote to keep this corrupt incometent government in power.
