Alcoholic smashes woman’s face

Alcoholic sentenced two years for smashing a woman’s face with a glass. Carl Stanley, 28 from Poole was sentenced for grievous bodily harm at 10am this morning by judge John Harrow at Crown court.

Stanley’s prosecutor; Stuart Elliot claimed that on 15th December 2008 Kim Hiscott, a nursery nurse saw drunk Stanley throw a drink at her friend. In defence Hiscott threw her drink at Stanley.

Hiscott received 25 stitches to her face after Stanley lashed out and threw his fist into her face with the glass in his hand. This attack caused three deep cuts to Hiscott’s face, one a centimetre long and the others two/three centimetres.

Hiscott has been left crying into the mirror and too afraid to leave her home.

Stanley had arrived at Yates’ bar after previously drinking 2 six-litre bottles of cider and one litre of vodka. Stanley continued with sambuka shoots in the bar.

Stanley was sentenced to two years imprisonment and three years on licence minus 36 days he spent on remand.

At the time of this offence Stanley was already on licence after a previous conviction of grievous bodily harm from an act in March 2004 after stabbing two men at Poole key.

In Stanley’s defence; Emma Southern addressed Stanley’s knowledge of his drink problem.

In Stanley’s offence he was drunk and unaware of what he did wrong. Stanley returned to Yates’ to face consequences of his actions where he was arrested.

Judge Harrow deemed Stanley a threat to the public and said “alcohol is his downfall.”
