A two-year-jail term for causing serious injury has been suspended on appeal after a judge took into consideration that the man was acquitted of relapsing and now had full-time employment.
Joseph Garrett, 27, from Żebbuġ, was found guilty of seriously injuring Loredana Zampa in Havana nightclub in Paceville on July 9, 2006.
He punched her in the face after she hit a friend of his with her handbag.
