Magherafelt woman who 'pushed' former partner is given a Conditional Discharge
A young south Derry woman who was said by a district judge to have “pushed” her former partner, has been given a Conditional Discharge for 18 months.
Shannon Sophie Campbell, aged 23, from The Oaks, Magherafelt, was convicted of a charge of common assault arising out of an incident on September 30, 2024.
Prosecuting counsel told Dungannon Magistrates Court that the case had been fixed for a contest, but that the injured party had not cooperated.
Passing sentence, District Judge Francis Rafferty, who said he was aware of the facts of the case, told the defendant that she should not have behaved in the way she did.
He told her that was not the way to resolve matters, and if someone winds her up again she should bite on her tongue and count to 10.
The judge told the defendant to stay out of trouble for the next 18 months and that would be the end of the matter.
