Court case- CPS v a driver that assaulted me last June

Really? I think it's a bit much. I mean, I know he won't serve the whole thing, but given the state of our prisons and, more importantly, the state of our CPS, I think I'd rather he did a community sentence and the money spent on incaceration went on something more productive. I think in this case a criminal record is probably a fairly hefty deterrent.
I'm going to see if I can find out why he got such a weighty sentence.

Personally, when you see drivers getting off for killing people, I'm not going to be too upset for the one person whose sentance goes some way of re-addressing this imbalance.

Equally, take away the car and cyclist aspect, transfer it too a nightclub and does the sentence look too extreme?

I also suspect he may have been known and that that has reflected the sentencing.
