A man lost his eyesight after a teacher kicked him hard in the face while he was lying on the floor.
The victim, who was the partner of the man's ex, lost vision in his left eye. Liam Power, 29, was convicted of wounding with intent when he kicked Joseph Ryan in the face when he was lying on the floor after an altercation.
The court heard that Power, of Elaine Street, Toxteth, kicked the victim so hard his vision had been significantly damaged - leading to difficulties in his work. Prosecutor, Jamie Baxter, said that Mr Ryan’s left eye was “badly damaged” in the attack and struggles “lining things up” in his day job fitting carpets, adding that he “can’t do the job anymore.”
