Passing sentence at the Central Criminal Court yesterday, Ms Justice Caroline Biggs said the prosecution had argued Calvin Dunne had taken "a running kick" at Dylan McCarthy, 29, while he was on the ground. But having viewed the CCTV footage again, the judge said it seemed to her to be "a one-stride kick" that made contact to the head.
