Gail Cochrane was sentenced to 5 years in prison after been caught with a German pistol in her house that she kept as a reminder of her late Navy World War II veteran father John. Police found the gun while looking for her son as he did not attend court police did not have a search warrant and Gail freely let them search her home of course she didn’t know she needed a licence for what she described as a significant trophy of war Sentence was very harsh and Gail’s family and especially her grandchildren are left devastated please sign this petition to support Gail on her appeal.

Ridiculous. She didnt even know the rules regarding the pistol. Common sense needs to prevail here.

This poor woman. She let them in because she had nothing to hide and now shes behind bars. Absolutely sickening.

No warrant and shes in jail for an antique. The legal system is broken.

TOTAL INJUSTICE. LOCKING UP A GRANDMOTHER OVER A WWII HEIRLOOM IS MADNESS.

5 years is a joke. It was an antique war trophy not a weapon for crime. Let her go home to her family.
