What would you expect to happen if you went to court, after you beat up
your girlfriend, then robbed her, after finding out she had had a miscarriage
and was possibly dating someone else?

Prison perhaps? No, you don't understand modern thinking by the courts.
Joseph Gallager, of Harpurhey, Manchester lured Natasha O'Callaghan to a field, and assaulted her in 2017. He then forced the student nurse to transfer £500 into his bank account, and stole her mother's ring, and sold it for £60 at a Cash Generator store.His only excuse was that he was "young, immature and a little weirdo"
..... and Judge Patrick Field QC bought it .... after a long summing up
of the violence and coercive behaviour involved, the judge finished
with 'Many will expect you to deserve a prison sentence, but there is a
realistic prospect of rehabilitation. I don't want to see you again,
but if I do, you know what will happen'.
Gallacher, who was in custody on remand for nine months, before the trial
and eventual sentencing in May 2019, had various previous convictions
including assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and criminal damage.
He got 21 months suspended, and was ordered to complete a domestic abuse
programme, 200 hours unpaid work and pay
compensation of £500 to Miss O'Callaghan.
He was also made subject of a restraining order for five years .... if that had been my daughter, he would wish he was dead before he was, and if I had been his father ... he would still wish he was dead.
