'If she can do it, so can I': SNP's newest MP Anum Qaisar-Javed says she wants to be role model for other minoritiesThe court heard that she suffers panic attacks near tall buildings, is unable to sit for periods longer than 40 minutes, has flashbacks, and has had sleeping problems since the incident.
He said:"When they saw the woman, he got absolutely the shock of his life. He thought she was dead, he was shaken to the core. He feels so guilt-ridden about what he has done."Debbie Ginniver, Morrison's representing lawyer, said:"Mr Morrison certainly didn't intend for anyone to get hurt, however, the complainer did suffer very serious injuries for his actions and he feels dreadful for that.
Sheriff William Summers said Ms Butkeveiciute was"in hospital for a number of weeks and is still recovering", having suffered"life-changing" injuries. He added:"To put it simply, it's hard to imagine doing anything more culpable and reckless than dropping a sofa from a roof."
