The Fight for Chantel’s Law: Backed by The Express

Jean Taylor, Founder and Chair of Families Fighting For Justice, Advocates for “Chantel’s Law”

Jean Taylor, mother of Chantel Taylor and founder and chair of Families Fighting For Justice, is leading the charge for “Chantel’s Law,” which proposes a mandatory 40-year sentence for murderers who refuse to disclose the whereabouts of their victims’ bodies. This initiative has garnered significant attention, with The Express publicly supporting the campaign.

Background

In March 2004, Chantel Taylor, a 27-year-old mother of three, was brutally murdered and dismembered by Stephen Wynne in Birkenhead, Merseyside. Despite his conviction, Chantel’s remains have never been found, denying her family the opportunity for closure.

Chantel’s Law

Jean Taylor advocates for a new law that would impose a mandatory 40-year prison sentence, without the possibility of parole, on killers who withhold information about their victims’ remains. This proposal aims to deter such heinous acts and ensure justice is delivered for victims and their families.

Support from The Express

The national newspaper The Express has publicly backed Chantel’s Law, calling for stricter penalties for those who commit such crimes.
Their support not only amplifies the campaign’s message but also underscores the importance of legislative change to close this glaring loophole in the justice system.

Call to Action

Jean Taylor, through her work with Families Fighting For Justice, continues to advocate for victims’ rights and justice for families affected by violent crime. She urges the public to support Chantel’s Law and join the movement for change.
