Heartless Thug Receives 22-Year Jail Sentence for Inflicting Life-Changing Injuries on Innocent Baby

A thug and a bully who battered, shook, and almost squeezed the life out of a newborn baby was today handed a 22-year jail sentence.

Judge's Verdict
Until now, it could only be reported that Christopher Fulton had assaulted a very young child, but on application by the media, Judge Peter Irvine KC varied the reporting restriction, allowing it to be stated clearly how the 6 foot 3, 16 stone man left a four week old baby bruised, blind and brain damaged.

Extended Sentence
Jailing the 35-year-old at an emotionally charged Newry Crown Court today(fri), Judge Irvine told him: “I have found you to be dangerous in relation to young children”, so in addition to the 22-year jail sentence for inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent, he ordered that Mr Fulton will be subject to an extended licence period of five years.
