Coward punches to get serious jail time

Paul Goldsmith announced new penalties for coward punches that injure or kill. The maximums are:

  • Eight years imprisonment when the offender intended to cause injury and caused grievous bodily harm
  • 15 years imprisonment when the offender intended to cause grievous bodily harm and caused grievous bodily harm
  • Life imprisonment (culpable homicide) offence for a one punch attack which results in death

No doubt the left parties will vote against.
