Overview

• Judge Jeremy Richardson KC handed Oliver Corney an 11-year, nine-month prison term with a five-year extended licence for grievous bodily harm and firearm offences
• Corney fired three shots into a crowd outside The Red Lion pub in Wath upon Dearne on June 28, 2024, hitting landlady Bonita Page in the leg
• Richardson warned that Corney, who has a lengthy record of violence, sexual offences and firearms charges, “narrowly avoided” a life sentence as a dangerous offender
• Page endures ongoing leg pain and post-traumatic stress disorder that forced her to relinquish her licence and change her life
• South Yorkshire Police’s Armed Crime Team used CCTV and witness interviews to swiftly identify Corney as a suspect, prompting his surrender and guilty plea
