Thomas Wilkins prosecutes man for GBH

Vinny Morgan was sentenced to 13 years and 6 months in prison for grievous bodily harm with intent, conspiracy to commit affray, and possession of an offensive weapon, after he pinned a member of the public against a wall in a stolen Range Rover, leading to the victim’s leg being amputated.

Thomas Wilkins, prosecuting, told Bournemouth Crown Court in a previous hearing that ‘CCTV captured the screams of cries as it happened. One of [Mr Wootten’s] legs was more or less amputated by the impact of the Range Rover’, adding ‘medical treatment [was given] at the scene and [the] doctor decided to amputate. Part of the wheel trim was embedded in what remains of Mr Wootten’s leg.’

Lucie Taylor of Pump Court was led by Thomas on this case.

The case has been widely reported in the national and local press, including the Daily Mail, BBC, and Bournemouth Echo.
