That's a genuinely brutal thing to read. This wasn't a bit of acid and bad facial burns, Jesus, someone who could inflict something like this on another living thing doesn't deserve to be free ever again.
A young man opted for euthensaia based on what she done to him while she laughed. Sick, sick woman.
It should have been attempted murder. In which case she could still have been given a life sentence.

it's something like (A) "planned intention to do something that anyone reasonable would think could risk causing GBH", plus (B) the victim dying because of their injuries
My guess is that the jury felt that part (B) was not proved
The evidence is that she bought the acid, and researched acid attacks
She knew what she was doing, therefore she intended to destroy his "normal" life, and disable him for life, therefore no prison sentence could be more harsh than the result of her planned actions
Based on the information, I hope she gets locked away for ever.
I'm railing against the declaration of an unknown sentence as inadequate by people who don't have the full picture and who are by no means in any position to criticise the judgement of legal professionals who do have the full picture. The judicial process must be respected. Undermining it with statements to the effect that 'whatever outcome it produces will be inadequate' is the thin end of the wedge and the starting point of mob mentality.

You get similar issues when teenagers bully each other online and incite each other towards suicide.

That is true. A couple of m'learned friends in the field believe the sentence will be maximum and will test out the CPS guidelines with regard to acid attacks and life sentences.
What she did was horrific. I've been following the case since moving down to London from Bristol via the Bristol Post, a newspaper which doesn't tend to explode into hyperbole.

A short sentence for her actions would be met with quite a shout of outrage in my opinion, and rightfully so.
She's lucky this is not Iran, where the punishment for a crime involving injury or death can be the imposition of the same.
