Give Lavinia Woodward a custodial sentence for stabbing her ex boyfriend.

Petition Details

Lavinia Woodward was spared a custodial sentence on the pretence that she is a highly intellectual individual whose career as a cardiologist would have been tarnished with a custodial sentence. In sparing her jail you send out the wrong message to the perpetrators of knife crime. She must serve time

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

This isn't something that the UK Government or Parliament could do. Sentences are the responsibility of the courts, which are independent of the Government and Parliament.

Anyone can ask the Attorney General to review a sentence they think is too low, and only one person needs to ask for a sentence to be reviewed. You can find out how to do that here:
