Teen Eddie Ratcliffe appeals 20-year sentence for Brianna Ghey's murder, citing his autism and youth.

Eddie Ratcliffe, one of two teenagers convicted for the brutal murder of 16-year-old Brianna Ghey, is appealing his 20-year life sentence. Ratcliffe's lawyers argue that his age and maturity were not sufficiently considered during the original sentencing, and he has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and selective mutism. The Crown Prosecution Service opposes the appeal, and the court has yet to make a final decision.
