Judge who spared man jail 'must be mad'

A man "set his dog" on a delivery driver because he didn’t want to collect his food from the front gate, a court heard.

Jack Hughes, 22, formerly of the Everton area, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday after being found guilty following trial of one count of causing actual bodily harm and one count of being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog which bit someone.

Daniel Bramhall, prosecuting, detailed that on October 6, 2021, police received a 999 call just after 10pm stating that an assault was taking place at an address in Everton. The caller stated that a delivery driver was being attacked and a dog was running around in the street.
