The 41-year-old from Longridge had been on the receiving end himself of a knife attack 20 years earlier and knew exactly how she felt, he told a judge in a letter from his prison cell.
Armed robber Leon Harrison said he had every sympathy with the shop assistant whose life he ruined in a terrifying late night hold-up, a court heard. But Recorder Paul Hodgkinson had absolutely no sympathy with Harrison despite hearing that he, like his victim, still bears the psychological scars from the night he was mugged at knifepoint two decades ago.
I don't go out at night on my own. When I get like this I end up having an anxiety attack, so now it's easier not to go out.' Mr Dyer said Harrison had confessed he was at the incident, but only in the white van outside. He claimed he didn't know there was going to be a robbery until the last minute. 'The Crown doesn't accept any of that,' said the barrister.
