Well, this makes a change, a woman jailed for a crime Thea Haywood, 29, who downed 10 pints of beer left innocent mother-of-four with sickening facial injuries when she hurled bottle during pub dance floor ‘moment of madness’. The end of the piece:

As Haywood was leaving, she threw the bottle, that she had been drinking from, about a yard, ‘towards the man who had upset your partner, but it didn’t hit that man.’

It hit the mother-of-four in the face, causing ‘grave’ injuries, including a black eye, a cut under the eye and face fractures. ‘She has got over the physical injuries but the emotional impact, it’s clear, is ongoing,’ said Judge Mark Bury.

‘You used a weapon, which was the bottle. You were under the influence of alcohol. This was in a public place – a public house that was full of patrons at the time of this incident.’

Haywood was jailed for one year after Judge Bury said that there had to be ‘an element of deterrence’ in the sentence. [J4MB: He appears to be unaware that this principle doesn’t apply to women generally, Ms Haywood is presumably not a mother with dependent children.]

As she left the dock to be taken down to the cells, Haywood cried, wailed and shouted ‘I’m so sorry’ to her husband, who was sitting in the public gallery.
