Yesterday: British judge lets pedophile go on holiday to a kiddie resort as long as he behaves. Today: British judge lets pensioner-bashing thug off on a suspended sentence because he was 'terrified of jail'. Tomorrow: ????
A teenage burglar who battered a 78-year-old man with a five-foot fence post was spared jail because his lawyer claimed he was terrified of prison - and then bragged about his sentence on Facebook only hours later.
Luke Mansell, 18, of Telford, Shropshire, boasted about being able to remove his tag and take illegal drugs after he was given only a suspended sentence by magistrates.
He walked free after claiming he had been acting in self-defence when he beat pensioner Arthur Ball, who had tried to stop him burgling a neighbour's home.
