## Resource

A man named Daniel Lawless has been jailed for 18.5 years after shooting an innocent bystander, David Forbes, in the legs while he was simply walking to a chip shop for his family. Lawless mistook Forbes for someone else in a moment of petty gang retaliation, firing a shotgun in a pub car park after showing it off to friends. Forbes, left with severe injuries requiring multiple surgeries and still carrying pellets in his legs, was left shattered — not just physically, but emotionally, as he described being “in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Lawless, with a history of violence and weapon-related offenses, admitted to wounding with intent. The judge stressed Forbes’s innocence, and Lawless’s parents expressed sympathy, while Lawless himself appeared emotional, vowing to turn his life around upon release.
