4,000 now.

And so, yeah, I guess it's just to show support that it's a way of people to voice their anger and disgust, I guess, at this sentence.

And that has been the overall response from the general public, people that don't know our family or don't know Martin.

have just been outraged reading about it and hearing about it.

So signing the petition is a way of us just kind of showing that, you know, it's not just us saying this, this is the general consensus from the general public.

So we have

submitted a request to the DPP for them to appeal.

And we've set out all our reasons.

We've no legal background, so it's completely just by our own research of the law.

We don't have legal representation.

You don't as the family of a victim.

I mean, the criminal gets free legal aid and the family get absolutely nothing.

So you're lost in the whole process and trying your best.

But not everyone would be in the position to even attempt to do that.

So...

We shouldn't have to go to these lengths to try appeal.

But as far as I know, the DPP have 28 days from the date of sentencing.

So that would be mid-February, I think would be the deadline.

We haven't heard anything back from the DPP as of this morning.

Yeah, ideal just to show some support and backing behind the request.
