A man with 72 prior offenses got 3 years and 2 months for leaving someone unconscious and stealing phones. Two youths lured victims to a student flat for assaults and posted footage online. Another man received 2 years and 8 months for years of abuse, including strangulation and theft. A 21-year-old got a suspended sentence for strangling his girlfriend in front of their baby. And in a tragic case, a man fatally punched an elderly man in a park, then fled — only turning himself in hours later, leaving a family shattered.
