The Court of Appeal will not review the sentence of a man who killed his partner's son.
Nathaniel Pope was sentenced to at least 24 years in prison for the murder of three-year-old Kemarni Watson Daby. Alicia Watson, his mother, received 11 years for causing and allowing his death.
The Solicitor General referred both sentences to him, but he has now withdrawn his request.
They were not too lenient.
Birmingham Crown Court jury heard from Kemarni, three years old, that his ribcage had been "crushed" and that he died in hospital of severe abdominal injuries on June 5, 2018.
The injuries Pope, 32 from Wolverhampton caused in their two-bedroom apartment on Beaconview Road West Bromwich were similar to those sustained in a car accident.
They were sentenced to 24 May. The Attorney General's Office confirmed last week that the Solicitor General Alex Chalk, QC had referred them both to the Court of Appeal because he felt they appeared unduly lenient.
In cases where the sentence is too harsh, people can use the Unduly Lenient Sentences program to request a review.
A spokesperson for AGO stated Wednesday that they will no longer be reviewed. The family was informed of the decision.
They stated that the Solicitor General had referred the case to the Court of Appeal to comply with the statutory time limit.
"After careful consideration, we have withdrawn the referral because there was not sufficient basis to conclude the sentences imposed were, as an issue of law, unduly light."
