The teenager who murdered Brisbane mother Emma Lovell in a home invasion is fighting for a lighter sentence and earlier release from prison.

The shock move in court has left Mrs Lovell’s husband Lee reeling and forced him to relive the trauma of that horrific night.

“It’s been quite terrifying, honestly. Even today in court, hearing everything again makes you relive that night and question whether your response was the right one,” he expressed.

He lost his wife in a violent home invasion on Boxing Day in 2022 at the hands of a teenager wielding a knife in North Lakes.

“She’s still my wife. I want to support her and get the best outcome that I possibly can for her,” Mr Lovell said.

He’s relived the trauma of that night again and again as her killer went through the courts.

The teen’s lawyers launched a Supreme Court appeal to reduce his time in jail.

“It feels quite unfair that the offender is allowed to appeal the sentence,” Mr Lovell said.

The then-17-year-old was sentenced to 14 years behind bars last year after pleading guilty to murder.

He’s due to be released in 2032.

The teenager received this sentence after the judge labeled the crime “particularly heinous,” though his defense team disagrees. They contend that the elements of the crime don’t meet the higher classification and should merely be labeled as “heinous,” a distinction that might bring about a reduced sentence if their argument holds up.

Mr. Lovell mentions that he has been prevented from filing his own appeal regarding the sentence given to the teen and another individual involved, who was convicted of burglary and assault but was acquitted of murder, ultimately leaving the court without further punishment.

“I just think it’s pretty disgraceful,” he said.

The appeal judges will hand down their decision at a later date.

“I think the judges and everyone in court, they throw around big words and they talk about people’s lives, but they’ve got, they don’t understand the impact of that life that’s been gone and it’s not here anymore,” Mr Lovell said.
