England riots: Court rejects seven of 10 sentence appeals

The Court of Appeal has rejected seven of 10 sentence appeals by people jailed over August's rioting in England.
At a hearing on September 27, lawyers argued that the sentences - for crime ranging from burglary to violent disorder - were excessive.
Two men jailed for inciting rioting were among those whose appeals failed.
The judgment was announced by the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge, sitting at the Court of Appeal in London with Sir John Thomas and Lord Justice Leveson.
