Crown urged to appeal baby leg breaker's sentence

By: Natasha Burling | Latest Crime News | Tuesday August 14 2012 15:19

 

The Crown's being urged to appeal the sentence handed down to a Napier man who broke his baby daughter's legs.

James Hall has been sentenced to a year's home detention after fracturing both her legs and breaking her shin.

Family First national director Bob McCoskrie says it's a pathetic sentence that sends a dangerous message.

He says people who murder and maim our children need to know children will be given greater protection by the judiciary.
