A life sentence...?

A Deeping St James teenager whose mindless violence ruined a man’s life has been told he will be going to prison “for a very long time”.

Unfortunately, it probably won’t be as long as the life sentence the yob gave 46-year-old Paul Machin who has been left unable to speak, open his eyes, eat, move or even recognise the woman he was planning to marry.

Details at Stamford Mercury.

On a different tack...

Robert Edmiston, who has been maintained a high profile in Phil's blog, is all over the front page of The Guardian newspaper today.
