Overview
- A jury convicted the 35-year-old in September after he denied attempted murder at Ipswich Crown Court.
- Prosecutors said the attack followed the victim finding him naked in bed with another man beside a plate of cocaine.
- He stabbed her eight times, causing life-threatening injuries to her lungs and liver, then took her phone, locked the house and later surrendered to police.
- Judge Martyn Levett described the assault as deliberate and cowardly, imposed a three-year extended licence after release, and assessed Leggett as dangerous.
- The victim reported PTSD, nightmares and relocation, and the court barred him from contacting her or her family indefinitely.
