Christopher Paxton KC is now addressing the judge and explaining why Warren should be given a higher sentence.
He feels there is a high level of culpability in this case because the dog was a known banned breed and because the victim, Esther Martin, died of her injuries.
He also says Martin was a vulnerable person, who didn’t have sufficient experience with this kind of dog and who should have felt safe in Warren’s home.
He stated the sustained and repeated nature of the attack and the fact a child was present, should also be counted as aggravating factors.
