It was a very busy month in the courts during December, with some nasty cases of violence among those dominating the prison sentences handed out. They included a drugs “enforcer” kicking a man unconscious, a thug repeatedly kicking a man during a city centre attack, a pub customer “pummelling” another man and a bully who angrily punched a defenceless dog.
The cases dealt with also included sex offenders, street robbers, violent boyfriends, a stalker and drug dealers.
These are some of the cases that were heard at Hull Crown Court.
