On the 27th of May 2014, Natalie Simpson was convicted of unlawful wounding another female in Bermuda. At all times Natalie has been honest about the crime and respected the judicial system but was sentenced to 4 years reduced to 2 years for her guilty plea and no previous record. She also had a full socialinquiryinto her character and this resulted in them recommending a probation period with a custodial sentence having no benefit for Bermuda or Natalie, she is of good character and is classed as the lowest risk ofre-offending. Never before has an individual received a 4 year sentence for such a crime with the judge even stating she would set an example of her. Natalie is a 25 year lady who has been in Bermuda for 5 years, she has never been in trouble and has been an honest hard working resident for the whole time. Yes she made a mistake but this sentence means she will have to serve a minimum of 16 months for an incident for which she is wholly sorry for. Please sign this petition if you believe the sentence was unfair considering current crime cases, for example a young man in Bermuda was recently sentenced to 6 years for manslaughter whilst wielding a knife, how is that fair for Natalie and how is that a consistent judicial system.
