Eddie Ratcliffe Appeals Against Sentence for Brianna Ghey Murder

Eddie Ratcliffe, convicted in the brutal murder of transgender teenager Brianna Ghey, seeks to appeal his 20-year minimum sentence.

Eddie Ratcliffe and Scarlett Jenkinson were sentenced to life in prison for the murder of 16-year-old Brianna Ghey, with Ratcliffe serving a minimum of 20 years.
Ratcliffe has officially lodged an appeal over his sentence, while there is no record of an appeal from co-defendant Jenkinson.
The murder, described as 'exceptionally brutal' and 'frenzied and ferocious,' involved Ratcliffe and Jenkinson stabbing Ghey 28 times.
Ratcliffe's appeal decision will be made by a senior judge; his father was also jailed for unrelated offenses shortly before the trial.
The judge emphasized that Ratcliffe and Jenkinson would only be released if deemed no longer a danger to the public, potentially extending their sentences beyond the minimum term.
