Father recorded daughters carrying out 'vicious' beating in video posted to Youtube
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Judge Nolan had remanded Marie Stokes and Michael Lawrence in custody pending sentence but allowed Jessica Maughan to remain on bail. He said today that he had decided not to imprison the father and two daughters before he imposed a two-year suspended sentence on each of them. "If this is repeated again, or anything like it, it would be brought back to court and you will go to jail – these two ladies didn't deserve what you did," Judge Nolan said addressing Lawrence, Maughan and Stokes directly.; Having heard evidence last Wednesday, Judge Nolan adjourned to this morning for sentence.
