A man was left in a coma and unable to speak or recognise his own parents after being attacked while out drinking in Liverpool city centre.
Kyle Brummell was innocently "minding his own business" in a Mathew Street bar when he was brutally knocked unconscious by James Guy. He had to learn how to talk again after suffering life-changing injuries during the assault and nearly burned his house down as a result of the brain injury he sustained.
Liverpool Crown Court heard today, Wednesday, that Mr Brummell had been out celebrating his friend's birthday on the afternoon of June 11 last year. Joanne Moore, prosecuting, described how the group, from Wigan, were "dancing, laughing and enjoying themselves" in Hardy's bar when one of their group - Mark Edwards - spilled his drink onto Guy.
