Attorney General Looks Into Punch Jail Sentence

The Attorney General is considering referring a jail sentence over a punch which left a man dead to the Court of Appeal.

The four-and-a-half year sentence, handed down to Lewis Gill, 20, from Bournemouth, for the punch which led to the death of a man, may have been unduly lenient, Attorney General Dominic Grieve's office revealed.

His decision to review the matter comes after a number of complaints about the sentence - only way complaint is required to trigger the process.

Mr Grieve has until until March 21 to decide whether or not to refer it to the Court of Appeal.

Lewis Gill, from Sutton, Surrey, pleaded guilty to manslaughter

Andrew Young, 40, died after falling to the ground following the punch by Gill in November last year.

Gill was an acquaintance of the cyclist to whom Mr Young spoke about cycling on the pavement.

CCTV cameras recorded the attack outside a Tesco Metro store, with the footage showing Mr Young talking to the cyclist and then being punched by Gill as the cyclist walked away.

Mr Young, who suffered from Asperger's syndrome, died the next day in hospital.

The victim's family have described the sentence as an "absolute joke".
