Sentencing Stern, Judge Owen Davies QC said he took into account his early guilty plea, the stress caused by financial and family problems at the time of the attack, the allegation that Mr Daltrey had used antisemitic slurs against him and the fact he had voluntarily completed an anger management course and was continuing to take sessions.
But he added it remained a serious, sustained bout of violence, and a custodial sentence was unavoidable.
Except…turns out it wasn’t!
… Stern was handed a two-year suspended prison sentence at Basildon Crown Court on Wednesday.
As
Woman On A Raft commented,
back in July 2013 (yes, that’s how long it’s taken for the conclusion!), maybe the council should be
looking more closely at the running of this home?

Oh no, Julia, to look more closely might lead to admissions.
And that would never do...
