Judge's disgust as 'feral' gang mock the court

A GANG who brutally attacked an off-duty police officer have been locked up for almost 21 years in total.

But the sentences seemed to have little or no impact upon the mob as some of them fist-bumped each other as they left the dock.

The judge told them they were receiving more “lenient” sentencing due to controversial guidelines meaning a defendant’s age must be taken into consideration.

The drunken mob ~ aged 14 to 20 — turned on Stuart Rochead having earlier caused mayhem on a train at Blantyre station in Lanarkshire in March last year.

The victim was punched, kicked, hit with glass bottles and bludgeoned with rocks and stones before being left for dead.

Two of the thugs were subject to a combined 20 bails order at the time and also on curfews to keep them at home at night.
