Thugs jailed for nine months for breaking man’s jaw are released the NEXT DAY after judge decides he was too harsh
By Daily Mail Reporter
Thugs who broke a man’s jaw on a night out were freed after just one day of their nine-month jail sentences after a judge decided he had been too harsh, it emerged today.
Victim Josh Boyle had been determined to see his attackers brought to justice and pursued the case through the courts for more than a year.
The 21-year-old, who needed £2,000 of dental treatment after the assault, was relieved when they pleaded guilty to affray at the last minute and were jailed.
But just a day after the sentencing, he found out they had been freed when he spotted them bragging about it on social networking website Facebook.
Mr Boyle, an electrician, said they boasted that it had been the ‘shortest jail term ever’.
The judge had recalled the pair, Jason Barrett and Sean Wilson, after 24 hours and given them a suspended sentence instead – meaning they were able to walk free.
Mr Boyle says the experience has made him lose all faith in the justice system.
‘I was over the moon when they were jailed. But then the next day I got a phone call from a friend who said they were out,’ he said.‘They had put a comment on Facebook bragging, about “the shortest jail term ever”. I wish I hadn’t bothered now. The whole legal system is just an absolute joke.’
Mr Boyle, from North Shields, was on a night out in Tynemouth in August 2008 with his then girlfriend when he was attacked.
