Here is what can happen when someone thinks its a good idea to punch another in the head:
A SYDNEY man has been jailed for at least three-and-a-half years for punching a pub customer who then fell, hit his head on the pavement, and died.
In the NSW Supreme Court today, Justice Stephen Rothman accepted Sesoni Bashford had not intended to kill Peter Dando.
Bashford, 24, of Matraville, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Mr Dando, 46, who died in October last year after being punched outside Matraville's House of Pie, in Sydney's east.
Bashford and Mr Dando, who were strangers, had been drinking earlier at a nearby pub watching the Rugby League Grand Final.
70 dollars isn't a good enough deterrent when you look at the implications of the actions
