answer text <table><tbody><tr><td><p>It is believed this is a reference to the case of Auriol Grey who was sentenced at Peterborough Crown Court on 2 March 2023 to 3 years’ imprisonment for manslaughter. The Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme works only to increase sentences that are too low so that they appear unduly lenient. The Law Officers cannot consider whether a sentence is unduly harsh or take any action if it appears to be so. An offender may appeal against their sentence if they consider it to be manifestly excessive.</p></td></tr></tbody></table> more like this
