Requesting For An Appeal In Case

After his initial sentencing, Iqbal attempted to appeal his jail term by requesting for a lesser sentence. All three judges who studied his case looked it over and decided that the punishment given was fitting for his crime. Even Iqbal’s cousin, Talib, tried to plead for shorter jail time, but just like Osman, he was denied.

Deserving Of Their Punishments

The judge in charge of their case, Radford, went on to say, “The appellants were involved in the direct supply of cocaine for monetary gain, both to consumers and to the women they used in their prostitution business. Plainly, some of the women engaged and retained as prostitutes in the brothels, were addicted to cocaine and to supply such an addictive drug to them at cost price clearly encouraged that addiction. We have no hesitation in deciding that the overall sentences were based on the correct starting point, and the terms passed by the judge were not in any way excessive.”
