Overview
- Jordan Herring, 22, was found guilty of grievous bodily harm at Birmingham Crown Court and was acquitted of attempted murder.
- Bobbie Goodman fell about 40ft from a fourth-floor window at Merton House on November 12, 2022, suffering a collapsed lung, shattered pelvis, broken ribs and spinal injuries.
- Jurors saw CCTV of the fall and heard a 999 call in which Herring’s mother delayed seeking help and said she feared her son.
- Herring told police Goodman had jumped, and he had earlier been convicted of coercive and controlling behaviour toward her.
- The case was delayed by Covid-era backlogs, with conviction reached on January 30, 2026; sentencing is set for next month as Goodman continues a difficult recovery.
