The attack happened in broad daylight, as bystanders looked on. After the blows, Jennings walked away and threatened a bystander, leaving the scene motionless.

"If you filmed me, I'll f***ing burn your house down."
Defendant's threat to a bystander during the incident.
The case illustrates how home surveillance footage can speed up investigations and strengthen prosecutions in domestic violence cases. It also raises privacy concerns for victims and bystanders who appear in public footage. The judge described the act as a chilling, cowardly assault and stressed the aggressor’s ongoing violence, including threats to a witness. The defence framed the offender as suffering mental health issues and remorse, a narrative that the court weighed alongside a lengthy criminal history. The sentence signals that violence against a partner in public can carry serious penalties even when the offender is already on licence for prior offences.
