Amy Pritchard reads her mitigation statement as delivered to the Court
Amy Pritchard was sentenced to 10 months in prison on 12th June 2024, the day after filming this piece.
This followed her brave action where she and four others cracked the windows of JP Morgan bank to draw attention to the incredible harm their investments are causing. The bank was identified as the largest lender to fossil fuel companies by far in 2023.
Four other women who also took part in the action against JP Morgan were given a total of 45 months suspended sentences between them plus a total of 330 hours of unpaid work in their communities.
All five women have lodged appeals due to abuse of process by Judge Silas Reid, potentially leading to the convictions being deemed ‘unsafe’.
