Laura Docherty has been sentenced to a minimum of six years in prison for attempting to murder a toddler by administering adult medication. The High Court in Edinburgh imposed a lifelong restriction order, highlighting the severity of the crime, which resulted in the child suffering seizures and requiring resuscitation.
During the trial, Docherty denied the charges but was found guilty. The judge noted her lack of remorse and responsibility, indicating that she would likely spend a significant time in custody due to the nature of her actions.
