The sister of a man who died seven years after being left brain damaged from a one‑punch attack has described the sentence given to his killer as "soul destroying and morally wrong". Simon Hackett, who was assaulted by Jordan Docherty in 2015, died in 2022 after a series of medical complications linked to the blow. In 2016, Docherty, of Studley Avenue, Bradford was sentenced to four years in a young offender institution for the attack, but, following the death, was charged with manslaughter and jailed for 15 months at Leeds Crown Court on Thursday. Hackett's sister, Alicia Manners, said the punishment did not reflect the years her brother had spent suffering.
