What the court heard
He pleaded guilty to wounding or causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent in Wakefield prison in West Yorkshire on 8 November 2018. He is serving a life sentence with a minimum term of 32 years (2015) for murder. The judge said: "Whatever may have been his crime, whatever may have been - and remains - his notoriety, that, in my judgment, is irrelevant other than to record that his notoriety seems to have served as something of a motivation for the two of you to have done what you did... None of that matters. What matters is that the two of you together formulated a plan to attack a fellow prisoner."
