Overturn court decision to not jail Lavina Woodward
Lavina Woodward, a student at Oxford University, intentionally used cocaine and then attempted to stab her boyfriend, smashed his laptop and threw a jam jar at his as well as a glass causing proper damage to the man. She avoided jail as she was "too bright". The ruling on her case is morally wrong

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:
