Horrible! Watch This Thug Viciously Batter Pregnant Girlfriend on Crutches in a Store

A thug was filmed viciously battering his pregnant girlfriend on crutches, before repeatedly punching and stomping on her.

According to The Roanoke Times, Jamar Bernard Woody, 35, was handed an eight-year jail term for the sickening assault he carried out in the middle of a convenience store.

The CCTV footage of the store showed Woody repeatedly battering his girlfriend Shatory Irving, who was three months pregnant at the time with blows as she lay on the floor.

According to The Roanoke Times, it was gathered that he has since pleaded with a judge to reduce his sentence. He said:

” I plead that I’m not to forced to watch my sons grow up through pictures. This is my breaking point, I’m not fit to take this right now.”

But the judge said the sentence for the horrific attack was not unreasonable and refused to cut down his prison term. Woody was jailed for malicious wounding over the assault in June last year.

There were gasps from the jury at his trial as footage showed him batter Shatory. A cashier at the shop in North Carolina rushed to her aid and ordered Woody to leave the premises.

The victim is said to have suffered a cut to her forehead that exposed part of her skull. However she was still the sole character witness at Woody’s trial. Her baby, although born premature, was unharmed by the incident.

The assistant Commonwealth’s attorney David Billingsley said she was fortunate enough that she wasn’t hurt more than she actually was. The victim gave a character reference for Woody at his trial, telling the court she did not want him to go to jail.

Woody, who has a history of mental illness, tried to kill himself after being jailed in January.
