Joanne Spencer, 47, was given an indeterminate sentence for public
protection at Leeds Crown Court and ordered to serve at least three
years before being considered for parole.

But a judge told her on Friday she was effectively being given a life
sentence and her release "may well be many, many years hence".

Serious crimes do serious time.  (Drug laws do not pertain)
