A man who "up-ended the world" of the elderly pensioner he attacked with a hammer before stealing his car in a "cowardly and ghastly" attack could be released from prison in less than three years.Darryl Trevor St Clair attacked an elderly man after knocking on his door and asking for a liftHe was sentenced to four years and 10 months in jail
St Clair asked Warren Phillips, who had lived in the house for 70 years, to drive him to Marion Road because he was "afraid of people following" him. The 39-year-old was arrested after the media published CCTV footage of the incident and his own uncle recognised him and reported him to police.District Court Judge Joana Fuller sentenced St Clair to four years and 10 months in jail, saying the crime had "a debilitating effect" on Mr Phillips.
Judge Fuller said Mr Phillip's car, which had never been found, was not insured and was Mr Phillip's "key to his independence and ability to move around the community".
Darryl Trevor St Clair sentenced to four years in jail over South Plympton hammer attack. Pretty weak sentence for a criminal who has used a weapon. Needs to be appealed for a much longer sentence.
Out in less than 4 years, has many previous convictions and will do it again. What a joke, hopefully the sentence is appealed as too lenient.
Not long enough 😠
It is a sad indictment on our society that some Judges are not prepared to hand out deterrent sentences to people who abuse and physically bash the elderly and utterly destroy the life they previously enjoyed District Court Judge Joana Fuller should be stood down now!
