The mother of a convicted robber who killed an autistic man with a single punch has described his crime as “not a big deal”.
Lewis Gill, 20, was caught on CCTV punching Andrew Young, 40, in the face and causing him to fall backwards and hit his head on the road, before walking off last November. Young later died of his injuries.
Gill admitted manslaughter and was sentenced to four years in jail last Friday, with many complaining to the Attorney General about his “lenient” sentence.
However, Gill’s mother, Sherron O’Hagan, 41, dismissed the severity of his actions, telling the Daily Mail:
“It was just an accident. It’s not a big deal. This will all be forgotten tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, the mother of the victim has described Gill’s four-year sentence as an “absolute joke”.

The sentence of 4 years is a joke he will be out and ready to kill someone else in two years if any one knows how to start a petition to get this sentence reviewed please do so and let us know his we can sign it. This mother deserves justice for her son.

As usual those with authority are out of touch with the people!
This is what happens when a scumbag has children!! He should be neutered when in jail!
Just hope someone does the same to him while he’s in jail as his mother thinks its not big deal
I would hope he shows remorse and truly regrets what he has done he Is still a young man who has made a great amount of sadness to someones family. As of the age of these young criminals It would be an idea to get a lot of counselling as the prison system could end up making him in to someone whom may come out far worse than going in….
