My fiance William Lee Martin has been sentenced to 9 year for attempted GBH in which NO SERIOUS HARM WAS CAUSED This is William's FIRST OFFENCE and we are appealing against the length of his sentence,just one signature from you could make all the difference to reduce his sentence and There are thousands of rapists, paedophilles, child and animal abusers getting suspended sentences everyday or a few month custodial sentence. Those that know william would understand that he does not deserve the 9 year sentence he has been given. He is remorseful for his crime and accepts he should be punished but is 9 years of his freedom taken away really fair?Please if you're willing to show your support, it means more to us then you could ever imagine.

I wake up every morning thinking about the life William is missing out on while he sits in a cell for a mistake that left no one with serious injuries. I have been spending my days organizing his legal files and preparing for our appeal. Your messages remind me that I am not fighting this battle alone.

Seeing this kind of movement brings me a small sense of relief because it proves that I am not alone in believing William deserves a fair chance. Knowing so many people recognize how disproportionate this sentence is gives us the strength to keep fighting for his return.

William is a good lad, I've known him for years and he does not deserve a sentence to this extent, he reacted with instinct at someone coming to harm, and is now imprisoned while the the person who caused this roams free

William is a lovely lad and doesn't deserve the harsh sentence he was given. Hes never been in trouble before and would go that extra mile to help anyone. I totally disagree with the sentence he was given and there should be a retrial for which willy should be free. I think 8 weeks in jail already is punishment enough for anyone . My thoughts wirh William and his family xxx

That seems a very long time for a first offense I hope this is looked at in more depth and a more appropriate sentence be given

This sentence is shocking for his first offence, there is a lot of people that do a lot worse and get minimum sentences

To say it's a joke is an understatement. Willy should not be locked up at all, let alone for 9 years. Thinking of you pal, hope you'll be out soon.
