Glass attack thug jailed for two years
9:00am Sunday 28th October 2012 in News By Stephen Bailey
Brogan Wake at Bournemouth Crown Court
A POOLE man with a criminal history of using bottles glassed another man in the face at a Bournemouth social club.
Brogan Wake, 21, hit Elliot Colley in Bournemouth East Liberal Club in February this year during a birthday party.
Bournemouth Crown Court was told Mr Colley accused him of stealing £50 from a wallet and Wake lashed out.
The glass smashed and the heavily bleeding victim was taken to Poole Hospital with numerous cuts to his face, nose and lips.
Anita Gibson-Lee, prosecuting, said Mr Colley needed follow up surgery on the wounds, and also micro-surgery to connect nerves because of facial numbness.
Wake, of Mansfield Road, Parkstone, pleaded guilty to Section 20 wounding and was sentenced to two years in prison at Bournemouth Crown Court on Friday, October 5.
Ms Gibson-Lee said Wake has previous convictions for 13 offences including five for violence.
She said he has been convicted of an affray which involved people holding bottles, and also of possessing an offensive weapon where he had a broken bottle.
“This history is of some concern,” said Ms Gibson-Lee.
He was also been convicted of possessing an offensive weapon when he had a knuckleduster.
Benjamin Long, defending, said Wake was holding the glass before the confrontation and did not intend to use it as a weapon.
“This is a young man who when sober presents as clever and polite,” said Mr Long. When drunk, it’s a different story.”
Wake has a job, lives with his mother and cares for her, and also has a partner and an eight-month-old child, said Mr Long.
Judge John Harrow told Wake: “Young people ought to be able to go out and enjoy themselves without having to be a victim or witness an incident of violence.”

why do defence lawyers always use being drunk as a mitigating circumstance- it's as if they are saying their client had alcohol forced down their throats and that caused their behaviour, not that they chose to get drunk - strange how they never try to use this defense for drink-drivers isn't it? Yes my client did kill an innocent pedestrian but in their defence they had been drinking all day before they got in their car....

Send them away, lock them up, and restrict their re-entry into the UK. Loss of human rights? Yes, and deservedly so.

Prison for these people isn't the answer, working for society for nothing is the answer, bring back chain gangs.

It's also a shame that we can't have more prisons built for us in 3rd world countries, like Albania and Pakistan where costs of keeping criminals are a fraction of those over here. We could then have a policy of doubling prison numbers and dishing out proper sentences to the likes of this lad to be served somewhere where they wouldn't get Sky TV.

France is though, Marseille's nick is infamous, nice mix of Maghreb and La Corse.
Then when he's done his time drop him off in the middle of one of the local HLM's with his broken bottle in hand.

It's obvious that this guy gets violent when drunk so why isn't there a drug/ injection these type of people could be given to stop them drinking alcohol?

It's a violent mouthy drunk who has to use a dangerous weapon he's that much of a coward.
What a tart, hopefully some properly hard men will show him what fear is while he's doing his very light prison term.

No excuses for violence, and this person, as a repeat offender, should be left to rot. But plastic or paper receptacles have to be an easy win.

Anyway, keep up the good work and I hope you will still be able to still write similar letters in support of the benign effects of alcohol on your goodself in a few years time.

"I am 99% sure not only do i have a better job than you, I am also probably on more money!"
What an arrogant little **** you are. You may be right but then so are most prostitutes and thieves on more money than honest folk.
Suggest you grow up and lose that chip on your shoulder and stop making excuses for an ignorant thug that resorts to violence on a regular basis.

I am 99% sure not only do i have a better job than you, I am also probably on more money! im 20 years old and EVERY single person over the age of 40 seems to think my generation are all the same, despite NEVER giving us the time of day... this man clearly has anger problems however it clearly says he was accused of stealing, he stood up for himself and granted,he did ti in the wrong way but listen to all of you! NONE OF YOU would say this to his face and not one of you seem to think maybe he has ALOT on his mind maybe his life isnt as easy as yours,you dont know what he has been through to cause him to behave the way he has been, its easy to simply put it down to "being a pri*k" but maybe, just maybe he is one of THOUSANDS being punished when really he needs help!!!!!!!
