Jail term increased for hammer attacker who left 'Good Samaritan' grandmother blind in one eye
Stage: Appeal
Outcome: The Director of Public Prosecutions sought a review of the sentences on the grounds that they were unduly lenient, while Campbell had cross-appealed the severity of her own term of imprisonment. Judge Dara Hayes jailed Stokes for 13-and-a-half-year with two years suspended, while Campbell received a 12-year term, with two years suspended.
