The Court Case - Part 2: The Verdict

Some of you will remember that on July 28th this year I went along to the Court in Southampton to support my brother and his friend Chris in the trial against the young men who attacked them last year. The full account of the day is here so please go and read there at your leisure. I'll wait for you.

OK? Good.


Well, they were due to be sentenced today.

My brother just called - the sentence has been passed:

The main offender, who caused the major injuries to Jake's face, got 12 months custodial sentence for the GBH on Jake, 6 months for lasting effects - 18 months in total, effective from today.

The two others, the twins got 180 hours Community Service each for ABH overall plus 180 hours Community Service specifically for ABH on Jake, electronic tag for 3 months, plus curfew of 7pm for the duration of the tag.

Fucking ace :D

Is he going to take a civil action against them too? He should.
