Justice for Women are supporting Martyna Ogonowska who was convicted of the murder of Filip Jaskiewicz in 2018. She was just 18 at the time of the offence.

The ground of appeal is that the ‘householder’ defence should have been been available to Emma. Judgment has been reserved but is expected within 4 weeks.

Fri and the two young children who have been deprived of her care for six and a half years, were failed by the criminal justice at every step of the process

The recent conviction and subsequent sentencing of Emma-Jayne Magson is shocking in light of the evidence put forward at the retrial and confirms the discrimination faced by women in the criminal justice system

Both the current legal team and the campaign group Justice for Women will continue to support Emma and will be advising her on an appeal.

Through in-depth interviews with some key practitioners in the criminal justice system, and most crucially with women themselves, our research explores the extent to which the law itself, and the way the law is applied, prevent women accessing justice.
