00:00Mr Coley was vulnerable because of his age, although I bear in mind that his age was a fact which I took into account when deciding how blameworthy what you did was.
00:13Four, you decided in advance that you would be hostile to Mr Coley, that's why you put your balaclava on.
00:19Five, what you did to Mr Coley was not one single attack, which you immediately regretted, but was in two separate violent outbursts.
00:32Six, you used a slider as a weapon, but I bear in mind having seen that it was a flimsy item, which when used was more humiliating than dangerous.
00:43Seven, as between you and D2, you took the lead, in her presence, playing up to her and to the camera on her mobile phone.
00:57Turning now to the mitigating features.
01:00One, you have no previous convictions.
01:04Two, despite some earlier bad reports about your behaviour in the children's home, more recently you are said to behave positively and well.
