A woman who slashed two other women with a broken glass bottle was yesterday jailed for four years.

But speaking after the sentencing victims of Wendy Harvey said the sentence was not long enough.

Harvey, of Northchurch Lane, Hamilton Parish, was found unanimously guilty of wounding Gene-Anne Bean with intent to do grievous bodily harm and guilty of unlawfully wounding Gloria Maria Hayward-Cox by a jury on June 22.

And yesterday Ms Harvey, was sentenced by a Supreme Court judge to four years for wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm to Gene-Anne Bean and two years for unlawfully wounding Gloria Maria Hayward-Cox. The sentences are to run concurrently.

Speaking after the case, Ms Hayward-Cox said: “I still have problems with my arm and the doctors think I might have nerve damage.

“I thought she would get more time.

“At least she got four years. She needed that break from society.”

Ms Bean added: “I will have this scar running down my forehead and my nose for the rest of my life. I thought she could have received more time.”

During the trial Ms. Bean told the court, she had tried several times on July 15, 2005, to escort Harvey, who has been banned since 1997 from the Hamilton Parish Workman’s Club, out of the club.

However, by 11 p.m. that evening she was tired of trying to ask her to leave and finally gripped Harvey’s shirt to take her out of the club.

It was then that Harvey got upset, grabbed a Heineken beer bottle out of the trash and broke it.

Harvey then raised the bottle, began waving it in the air and swung hitting Ms Bean on her forehead and the bridge of her nose.

The wound required 22 stitches when Ms Bean went to the hospital.

And Ms Cox suffered cuts on her shoulder and back that required nine staples when she rushed out of the Workmen’s Club because she heard her friend, Ms Bean, was in trouble.

She told court a friend had come running into the bar screaming ‘Gene-Anne, Gene-Anne’ and Ms. Cox asked her what was wrong with Gene-Anne.

Ms Cox said when she went outside she saw Ms Bean with blood streaming down her face, that is when Harvey began hitting her and she punched Harvey a few times in self-defence.

Yesterday, however, defence lawyer Elizabeth Christopher argued that while she was not mounting a defence for her client, there were mitigating factors which could explain her behaviour that evening.

She said: “With respect to the other complainant she has a history of behaviour that is humiliating to the defendant.

Earlier in the evening Ms Bean used language towards the defendant and pushed her while she was in the bar.”

Puisne Judge Charles-Etta Simmons, however dismissed any of Ms. Bean’s actions could be mitigating factors saying the jury had unanimously found Harvey guilty.

Ms Simmons said: “Glassing and using broken bottles is outlandishly bad.

“It is an increasing trend among women committing violence and with glass.’

“Harvey had no right being on that property and she clearly has an alcohol problem.

“I regret that two women had to suffer from your activity.”

Ms Simmons then sentenced Harvey to four years for wounding Ms Bean with intent to do grievous bodily harm and two years for unlawfully wounding Ms. Cox to run concurrently.

Upon release Harvey will also serve 18 months probation.
