Premium Content Subscriber only The family of a little boy killed in a crash at Bouldercombe in 2016 will have to wait weeks to find out if Queensland's Attorney-General will appeal the wholly suspended prison sentence the driver who caused the crash received last month. The family of four-year-old Taylen Swanson has asked Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman for the appeal, saying they are appalled by the lenience of the sentence for Michelle Lee Newton who received a wholly suspended 3.5 year prison term for the charge of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death on March 19 in Rockhampton District Court.
