Violent thug updates Facebook status while sat in court before being jailed

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A violent thug who broke a man’s nose during a vicious brawl posted an ill-fated social media update from court moments before he was sent to jail.

Mark Godfrey made the Facebook post as he sat in a courtroom awaiting sentencing, moaning: “Sat in court, wot a start to 2022.” The troublemaker was jailed just minutes later when a judge refused to suspend his prison sentence and gave him eight months behind bars.

Godfrey, 41, admitted assaulting a man, causing bodily harm, on October 5. The violence flared after he took offence at a comment that was made and the way that he was spoken to during a confrontation involving the other man.

He threw repeated punches at the victim’s face and ribs but denied kicking him, according to Hull Live. The victim suffered a broken nose and a black eye.
