The victim, traumatized and now fearful of flying, described lasting emotional scars. Nolan, who runs a scaffolding business and has daughters, admitted to causing grievous bodily harm without intent. Arrested upon landing, he pleaded guilty and received a 21-month suspended sentence, 100 hours of community service, and a $100 compensation fee—courts citing his daughters’ welfare as a key factor in avoiding jail. The judge called him out for shame, but the case was swiftly resolved. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
