Maybe This Defence's Mitigation Isn’t Totally Bogus, for Once…

Choi Cheng, mitigating, told Hartlepool magistrates that Watson, who pleaded guilty, recognised this was “a thoroughly shameful episode,” and both regretted and apologised for it.
He had been in care since he was six years old and was immature.
Hmmm. Do we have any proof of that? I mean, it's easy to claim but...

Oh:
As he was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment for the first charge of causing unnecessary suffering to a dog by subjecting it to physical violence, Watson swore at Inspector Balderston that he would “stamp all over her head.”
Ah. OK. I guess we do…
