Terence Darrell Kelly has appealed his sentence for kidnapping four-year-old Cleo Smith from her family’s tent at a remote Western Australian campsite, arguing the sentencing judge failed to give due weight to his turbulent upbringing.
Documents lodged at Western Australia’s court of appeal this week also state that a district court chief judge, Julie Wager, erred in finding that Kelly was significantly affected by methamphetamine when he abducted Smith in October 2021.
