The victim suffered severe facial injuries requiring major reconstructive surgery including multiple fractures and orbital floor reconstruction.
The court imposed a conditional discharge with three years of probation, a section 110 weapons prohibition for ten years, a DNA order, and a $100 victim fine surcharge.
The sentencing considered the serious nature of the injuries, the unprovoked nature of the assault, the accused's remorse, his completion of anger management counselling, his stable employment, and his prior conditional discharges.
