Severe alcoholic avoids jail for slashing McDonald's security guard
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: The offence "would normally attract a custodial sentence", she said, but Kavanagh is clearly "a vulnerable person". She imposed a sentence of two and a half years imprisonment, suspended in full, for the assault on Mr Miranda, with the charge of producing the knife taken into account. "He's 51 years of age now and I sincerely hope I will not see Mr Kavanagh again." "Thanks, your honour," he said.
