A man who drunkenly knifed a friend at a Sandys bar, leaving him with 14 stab wounds, has been jailed for five years.Prosecutor Nicole Smith told Supreme Court that victim Jason Taylor, 36, needed 32 skin staples and a blood transfusion after La-Wayne Fubler attacked him.Jailing Fubler, 26, Puisne Judge Carlisle Greaves said: “This was a serious attack upon the victim, resulting in very serious injuries physically and psychologically.”The stabbing took place at Woody’s bar on June 22, 2011. According to Ms Smith, the defendant and victim lived near each other in Dockyard and had an “amicable friendship” prior to that night.However, Fubler, of Malabar Close, approached the victim, from Boaz Lane, and told him: “I owe you $200? I would just slap you right now.” He swung at Mr Taylor and they ended up rolling on the ground, at which point Fubler pulled out a knife.The victim managed to get to his feet and started to walk away, according to Ms Smith. However, Fubler chased him, pulled at his shirt and tripped him up, causing him to fall to the ground.A witness heard the complainant shout “don’t do that, don’t f*****g do that,” explained the prosecutor.Fubler mocked Mr Taylor by repeating his words back to him before saying: “I will f*****g kill you” and stabbing him multiple times.The victim tried to grab the knife and Fubler ran away after bar patrons intervened. An ambulance was called for Mr Fubler who needed emergency surgery for a collapsed lung. He also received skin staples for wounds to his right hand, buttock, groin, thigh, chest, flank and private parts.Ms Smith explained that Mr Taylor is a lupus patient who takes blood-thinning medication.“As a result of the multiple wounds he bled more than the usual wounding victim. He had to undergo a blood and plasma transfusion to thicken and replace his blood,” she explained.The victim continues to suffer pain in his right hand as a result of injuries sustained trying to grab the knife. He also has “significant scarring”, according to the prosecutor.Ms Smith said there was no evidence Mr Taylor provoked or initiated the attack in any way or that Fubler acted in self-defence.She did not give any explanation as to Fubler’s comment about $200 before launching the attack.Mr Taylor did not attend the sentencing hearing yesterday. However, Ms Smith said he and his mother, Dianne Taylor, wished for “victim impact statements” to be considered by the judge.According to his statement, Mr Taylor has suffered “emotional instability” and “paranoia” as a result of the attack, she explained.Meanwhile his mother is suffering the after effects of what she witnessed.“She rushed to the scene and she saw her firstborn bloodied at the scene. Her victim impact statement speaks of her emotional distress and suffering as a mother when her son was viciously attacked for no reason,” said Ms Smith.Fubler was “very, very drunk” at the time of the attack, according to his lawyer Charles Richardson, and does not remember it.He pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding in February, and apologised to the victim and his family before he was sentenced yesterday.According to Ms Smith, Fubler has “a tendency towards rage and violence towards others” and problems with alcohol.He has three previous convictions for violence. The most recent saw him fined at Magistrates’ Court in February 2011 for wounding a man he worked with on an ice-delivery truck.According to Mr Richardson, Fubler’s father committed suicide when he was seven years old and “things went downhill” for him after that.He stressed that Fubler needs help for his problems in addition to incarceration.Following the five-year prison term for hurting Mr Taylor, the judge told Fubler he must serve two years on probation. He ordered that he should undergo counselling for violence and substance abuse. The terms of his probation bar him from committing any further offences, or he could get up to 12 months more in jail.
