Tracey Connelly, convicted over the death of her 17-month-old son Peter (“Baby P”) in 2009, is making another effort to obtain parole as the latest hearing resumes. The Evening Standard reports the parole process is set to restart after an extended pause of nearly a year.
Connelly was sentenced by the courts in 2009 after a trial at London’s Old Bailey. All the outlets describe her as receiving an indefinite sentence with a minimum term of five years. According to the Daily Mail, prosecutors said she covered up injuries inflicted by her partner, while the Evening Standard focuses more directly on her conviction for causing or allowing Peter’s death at their north London home. The reports indicate the parole bid continues under ongoing legal consideration, with timing shaped by the pause and the resumption of the hearing.
