Spetchley crash families call for 'justice'
Julia Earlam is fighting to lengthen the sentence of her daughter's killer, and says she is prepared to take her campaign to Downing Street.
Joe-Lewis Tyler was jailed for 19 years and two months in August after crashing into a car carrying Leo Painter, six, Courtney Hemming, 26, and Claire Adkins, 39, on the A44 Spetchley Road in Worcestershire.
The Attorney General's Office has said the case did not meet the threshold to be referred to the Court of Appeal despite their families' hopes.
Tyler had spent the afternoon drinking before driving at speeds in excess of 90mph on a 50 mph, the court heard.
The case was referred to the office under the unduly lenient sentence scheme.
Solicitor General Sarah Sackman said on Tuesday she was deeply saddened by the crash but after "careful consideration" there was nothing more she could do.
