Don\u2019t hit on my younger sister next time, brother. Keep snoring.\u201d<\/p>\n The victim also suffered a cut to his lip and memory loss.<\/p>\n Dewar\u2019s lawyer tried to argue a fine was a sufficient punishment, but the police prosecutor said that was wholly inappropriate given he attacked someone unprovoked and has shown a lack of remorse.<\/p>\n During sentencing, the magistrate told Dewar the Snapchat video showed a callous disregard for the welfare of his victim and coward punches are occurring all too frequently in the community.<\/p>\n Dewar was sentenced to six months in prison but he will not spend anymore time behind bars because it was suspended for nine months.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Truck packed with valuable electronics stolen as driver made delivery<\/p>\n 1 min read<\/p>\n
