Benjamin Calvert is jailed for killing Alan Barefoot in Thirsk in October last year.
Benjamin Calvert was said to have drunk heavily on the night he fatally punched Alan BarefootAlan Barefoot, 31, from South Kilvington, died from catastrophic head injuries after he was assaulted in Thirsk's Market Place in October 2021.
A second defendant, Thomas Cressey, 25, of Church Lane, Boroughbridge, was given a six-month suspended sentence for affray along with an evening curfew. In a witness statement, her partner said he asked Mr Barefoot to leave and at that point he said the victim had verbally egged-on Cressey.Mr Barefoot fell but got up and Cressey returned to the pub.
The court heard Calvert had drunk 10 to 12 pints of lager and had cocaine in his system. He told police he could not remember what happened, though he had disposed of the clothes he was wearing. He said what followed after Mr Barefoot's ejection from the pub had been "grossly disproportionate and entirely unjustified", though he accepted both defendants were "consumed by remorse".
