Greater Manchester: Last week was quite a week for justice in the area. A mix of criminals found themselves behind bars, and it’s a real eye-opener.
First up, there’s Mark Schofield. This guy attacked a 67-year-old woman just trying to get to the shops. He stole her handbag and left her seriously injured. The judge really laid into him, saying his late mother would have been ashamed of him. He got five years for that.
Then there’s Anthony Corkovic, who thought it was a good idea to break into a couple’s home with a baseball bat. They were just watching a Manchester City game when the nightmare hit. He’s now facing eight years in prison after being caught during the struggle.
And let’s not forget about John Firth and Aileen Cullinane, a couple who were stealing anything they could get their hands on. They even took advantage of a friend who offered them a place to stay. Firth got 22 months, while Cullinane got a suspended sentence but has to go through a drug rehab program.
Michael Edge, a repeat offender, was caught again trying to meet a girl for sex. He’s now looking at two and a half years behind bars. It’s just sad to see someone not learn from their mistakes.
Ross Kenny, who lost his job during the pandemic, turned to dealing cocaine. He got caught with a stash worth about £3,000 and was sentenced to two and a half years as well.
Lastly, there’s Kevell Blake, who was involved in a tragic incident where a young man was killed. He got eight years for his part in the crime. It’s a tough reminder of how quickly things can go wrong.
So, there you have it. A week of serious sentences in Greater Manchester, showing that crime doesn’t pay.
