A father who punched a drug dealer after seeing him attack a vulnerable woman in the street has been jailed - but the pusher won't be prosecuted because he was so badly hurt. Father-of-one Carl Neale, 23, floored the dealer with a single punch after shouting at him to stop hitting the terrified woman....[snip]...Neale, also from Nuneaton, was jailed for six years on Friday after Coventry Crown Court heard the drug dealer had been left fighting for his life.

......the article was so poorly written it is hard to draw a conclusion. At the outset, it was just a one punch deal, then along toward the middle it was two punches, then at the very end it was all sorts of crimes by Neale. Then, the judge had a negative view of Neale clearly based on more than just one punch.

But, notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if the sob he hit was dealing in drugs and assaulting the woman then the sob got what he deserved and that one count, standing all by itself in Texas would have begotten Mr. Neale an “atta boy” from the sheriff,

Surely he can overturn his conviction on appeal?

Needs a meaner, nastier barrister, methinks.

I think that there is a lot more to this story, although the article only hints at things here and there:

"Neale admitted one count of causing grievous bodily harm, as well as charges of dangerous driving, assault with intent to resist arrest, attempted burglary, aggravated vehicle taking and two counts of driving whilst disqualified.
