But the victim, also a student, did not want to see his attacker jailed
A Nottingham Trent University student fractured the skull of a fellow student when he punched him unconscious in the city centre. Nottingham Crown Court heard how Aryan Ramnani Martinez struck the victim once after being deliberately tripped up by the complainant as they crossed the street while on a night out celebrating Halloween .
The victim, who was a first year student, spent nine days in hospital and then two months stuck in his own flat recuperating, missing valuable study time for his degree course. But when he gave his victim impact statement, he told the probation service that he did not want his attacker to be sent to jail.Handing Martinez a suspended sentence order, Recorder Penelope Stanistreet-Keen said: “People can die in these circumstances and the courts regularly see cases like this where they do.
He said both parties had been out celebrating Halloween and as they crossed the road in opposite directions the victim “for no reason” stuck his foot out and tripped the defendant who then confronted him and punched him once to the face. In a victim impact statement, read to the court by the prosecutor, the student who was assaulted said: “I had just started at university and moved to the city and I missed so much including seminars, lectures, exams and assessments. I planned to work to support myself during my studies but I was not able to and spent two months stuck in my flat unable to make friends and socialise.”
