Courtney Gartshore, 28, who was convicted of killing her three-month-old daughter Dahlia-Rose by using “significant and sustained heat” from a hairdryer, is appealing her conviction and six-year prison sentence.
According to multiple outlets, court officials confirm an appeal has been lodged and the process has begun. The reporting describes the sentence as six years and frames the matter as an attempt to challenge both the finding of guilt and the length of the term.
While outlets largely align on the core facts—the method described at trial, the conviction, and the six-year sentence—coverage varies slightly in phrasing. Some focus on the intent and timing of the appeal, while others emphasize that it is formally underway following the sentencing and conviction.
No outlet in the provided reports details the grounds of the appeal or any changes to her custody status beyond confirmation that an intimation to appeal has been submitted.
