Baby P mother drops appeal
Tracey Connelly, 28, who was jailed at the Old Bailey in May for a minimum of five years, was expected to have an appeal application heard by senior judges in the Court of Appeal on Tuesday.
Connelly was sentenced along with her boyfriend Steven Barker, 33, and lodger Jason Owen, for causing or allowing the death of 17-month-old Peter Connelly.
The child was found dead in a blood-spattered cot in August 2007.
Owen, 37, who had been staying at Peter's home with his 15-year-old girlfriend, is to have a sentence appeal application heard by the Court of Appeal on Tuesday. He was also given an indeterminate sentence, with a minimum term of three years.
