27-year-old Christopher Lynch, with 99 prior convictions, was sentenced to 13 months in prison for biting off a man's ear in a Belfast car park fight.
Christopher Lynch, 27, was sentenced to 13 months in prison for biting off part of a man's ear during a fight in a Belfast car park last August. Despite having 99 prior convictions, Lynch admitted to the assault, where he also waved the severed ear and claimed it as a "souvenir." Judge Gordon Kerr KC characterized the incident as a severe assault but noted it might have been an over-reaction to self-defense. Lynch will serve three months in prison, followed by 10 months on license.
