Ex-estate agent who glassed stranger back in court

A negotiator who escaped jail after glassing a stranger in a nightclub has reappeared in court.

Yasmin Thomas, 21, who worked for Palmer Snell in Westbourne, Bournemouth, was given a two-year suspended sentence in August after the attack, in which her victim suffered a fractured eye socket.

It emerged that she had 17 previous convictions for assault and battery – prompting the Judge to say that she had one of the worst records for violence he had seen in a person of that age.

After her 18th conviction, Palmer Snell, part of Countrywide, said she was no longer working for them, but gave no further details.

Last Friday, Thomas was back in front of Judge John Harrow and admitted three breaches of the conditions of her suspended sentence order.

She had demonstrated “unacceptable behaviour” during unpaid work assignments.

Judge Harrow ordered Thomas to complete three compliance sessions in addition to her existing requirements, saying that those guilty of a breach were “almost all given one chance”.

He went on to say of the original sentence and the media’s wide coverage of it: “I hope you understand that you had been given a chance.

“If you didn’t, the press could have reminded you how lucky you were.”

However, Judge Harrow said he would not allow the court to be influenced by the “public response to the original sentence”.

He told Thomas: “If you don’t comply with all conditions to the letter you are going to go through that door at the back.”

    A fatal beating would have sorted the problem.

    You really have to wonder what dirt she has on Judge Harrow. I am guessing once she has killed there will be an enquiry and failings noted. I am guessing too that Judge Harrow will be convinced they were only applying the law and guidance handed to them at the time.

    It seems the justice system has no qualms about incarcerating vulnerable youngsters but ferals like this are allowed their freedom, shocking!
