A war hero who was left with a bleed on the brain has branded the justice system "totally broken" after the thugs who battered him while he lay helpless on the ground walked free from court.
Brian Kelly, himself an army veteran, and Derek Gallacher carried out a "vicious" assault on former Royal Marine Christopher Smith on Remembrance Sunday in East Kilbride.
The victim's shocking injuries included bleeding on the brain - for which he spent weeks in a hospital neurology unit - and a broken nose, as well as cuts and bruising.
