Inverness: So, there’s this guy, Stuart Jackson, who was just out having a good time with his friends. They were celebrating his last night at work when things took a terrible turn. Out of nowhere, he got attacked by this guy named Michael Agnew.
Stuart was just walking along, having a laugh, when Agnew started causing trouble. He thought Stuart and his friends were laughing at him and wanted to pick a fight. Stuart tried to defuse the situation, but Agnew pushed him, and things escalated quickly.
Stuart ended up hitting his head on the kerb and was knocked out cold. His friends thought he was dead because there was so much blood. Can you imagine? He woke up in the hospital with a huge wound and seven staples in his head. Thankfully, he didn’t have any serious brain damage, but it was a close call.
Now, he’s dealing with some nasty concussion symptoms and memory issues. It’s been really tough for him. After waiting for justice, he was shocked to find out that Agnew got a pretty light sentence. Instead of jail time, he was given community service and had to pay some compensation.
Stuart feels like Agnew got off easy. He’s worried that this sends the wrong message—that you can hurt someone and not face real consequences. It’s been a nightmare for him, and he just wants people to understand how serious this is. He’s still struggling to get back to normal, and it’s clear this incident has changed his life forever.
