A domestic abuse survivor who lived a life of hell with her violent ex-husband for years has hit out at his "appalling sentence".
Mark Donnelly avoided a custodial sentence after being found guilty of assaulting Nicola Thompson in East Kilbride on various occasions between January 2016 and January 2020.
The 37-year-old dodged a prison sentence from Hamilton Sheriff Court as Sheriff John Speir instead placed him under supervision for 12 months and ordered him to carry out 250 hours of unpaid community work.
