Overview
- David Lewis was sentenced at Luton Crown Court to four years and two months, with two thirds to be served in custody before release on licence, following Wednesday's hearing.
- Jack Oliver “Olly” Frogell, 48, was punched in the car park of Hemel Hempstead Town Football Club after a charity event and died nine days later from a severe traumatic brain injury.
- Judge Michael Simon said Lewis’s violence was fuelled by heavy drinking, citing the defendant’s account of about eight pints plus other drinks that night.
- CCTV shows Lewis tap Mr Frogell on the shoulder and deliver a single punch, then walk away while others ran to help, according to the court.
- Hertfordshire Police released the footage on Thursday at the family’s request, as relatives said the sentence feels painfully short and asked for privacy.
