A woman pushed her friend down the stairs, fracturing her skull and leaving her unconscious, in a row over a pair of jeans at a house party.
Lorraine Farrin, 22, walked free from court after being convicted of causing grievous bodily harm.
Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court, sitting at Stockport Magistrates' Court, heard the victim was one of a number of guests who turned up at Farrin's Rochdale home on the night of the Halloween party.
