Another pavement attack on a person using a car as a weapon.
Good job it wasn't a cyclist victim this time. Doesn't this clearly
demonstrate though how lightly the deliberate use of a car as a weapon is punished? "A 23-year-old man has been jailed after he mowed down a man in his car, leaving him seriously hurt. James Blundell, of Urmston, deliberately hit the man at speed outside the Tim Bobbin Pub near his home in Flixton Road in September 2009. Minshull Street Crown Court heard his victim was left needing extensive surgery for a split bowel and has lost his job, home and car. Blundell was jailed for 15 months. He admitted assault and dangerous driving..." WHHAAAT! Only 15 months? Supposing he had been deliberately using a knife as a weapon instead? Nowhere is safe from these motorists, they kill, injure and smash houses and shops with relative impunity. The justice system is skewed in their favour, probably because virtually everyone connected with the so-called justice system is a motorist.

He wouldn't have faced the dangerous driving charge, but the sentence would likely have been the same. He pleaded guilty to assualt, for which the sentencing guidelines are that a custodial sentence is appropriate only if two or more aggrevating factors are present. In this case, intent and injury are present. The use of a weapon is also an aggrevating factor, but two are sufficient for a custodial sentence. The maximum recommended sentence is two years, but he would get a reduction for pleading guilty, so 15 months is a fairly stiff sentence under the guideines. Colin Bignell |

Perhaps the police didn't have the resources or time to put together a stronger case of, say, attempted murder? They might have had to spend the time dealing with eejits who were stoning their cars, perhaps, or even dealing with Rsoles who were trying to behead them with fishing line. |

The maximum recommended sentence is two years, but he would get a reduction for pleading guilty, so 15 months is a fairly stiff sentence under the guideines. Trust you to defend the motorist and his use of a weapon. Its always the same isn't it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault#United_Kingdom "Strictly speaking, assault is not an essential ingredient of these offences. The test is whether the wound, or harm, resulted from the act of the accused: see Archbold's Criminal Pleading 2009 at 19-208. Grievous bodily harms means no more and no less than really serious bodily harm: DPP v. Smith [1961] AC 290. A wound requires the continuity of the whole skin to be broken: R. v. Wood [1830] I Mood. 278. An offence under section 20 carries a maximum penalty of 5 years' imprisonment, a fine, or both. An offence under section 20 carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment." So the max for assault can be either 5 years or life, not two years and he got a paltry 15 months because he used a car as weapon instead of a knife Are you seriously trying to suggest he would not have got more if he had deliberately attacked the bloke with a knife? Example... http://www.4ni.co.uk/northern_irelan....asp?id=106344 "Six Year Sentence For Stabbing A man has been jailed after he stabbed a Gorton man, narrowly missing his heart. Paul Johnstone, 28, of no fixed abode pleaded guilty to wounding with intent at Manchester Crown Court, Crown Square. He was sentenced to six years in jail earlier this week." Doug |

Doug gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying: ...pleaded guilty to wounding with intent Not assault, then. |
