'He's a good person who made a mistake'
A holidaymaker glassed a reveller in the show bar at a Blackpool holiday park when his parents became involved in an altercation at the bar.
An onlooker, who was seen on CCTV waving his arms around, became involved in the tension. Walton, who was drinking from a pint glass, emptied the glass and smashed it on the man's head. The man suffered a cut to his head which required surgical glue and several grazes to his head and neck. "You saw him put his hands in the air. He must have been saying or chating something. He had nothing to do with the initial incident.
"Various people stepped in from both sides but you weren't happy with that. You thought this lad was going to get away with it. You had the glass in your hand and from a very short distance you threw it at his head." Judge Mathieson said: "It is hard to see you here because I accept that this is a snapshot and that is not the real you. That is evident from everything I have read about you and that is not what you want your legacy to be or what you want people to think about you. That is what I have to balance."
