The mother of a woman who was jailed after being caught on camera attacking police and smashing the window of Bridewell Police Station during a Kill The Bill protest has criticised her jail sentence, describing it as "inhumane".
Mariella Gedge-Rogers, 27, of Queens Court, Clifton, was convicted last month following a unanimous decision by a jury following a trial at Bristol Crown Court. Gedge-Rogers was found guilty of being part of a group that used or threatened violence and, together, caused others to fear for their personal safety.
She was arrested six days after the riot took place outside the city centre police station on March 21 last year after her image was released as part of a police appeal. During her trial, digital evidence including footage from officers’ body-worn cameras, CCTV and mobile phone footage was played to the jury.
