A Co Antrim carpet fitter who carried out a “cowardly and unprovoked attack” on a pub doorman knocking out two of his teeth has had his prison sentence reduced to a probation order.
The Court of Appeal today (Monday) said the 26 month sentence handed down to Andrew Coffey was “manifestly excessive”.
The 27-year-old, c/o Magilligan jail in Co Derry, had appealed against the sentence handed down at Craigavon Crown Court in February this year.
