13.5-year sentence for Terence Darrell Kelly, convicted of kidnapping Cleo Smith, under appeal.

Three judges will decide on Terence Darrell Kelly's 13.5-year prison sentence for kidnapping four-year-old Cleo Smith from her family's tent in Western Australia in October 2021. The case, which led to a massive police search, ended with Cleo's rescue after 18 days. Kelly's lawyers argue the sentence is excessive, citing his methamphetamine use, traumatic upbringing, and mental health issues. The appeal judgment is expected on Monday.
