Judges suspend Dylan Willis’s jail term on account of his ADHD and low IQ but uphold sentences of three other men

A teenager jailed for smashing a restaurant window during rioting in Middlesbrough is to be freed after appeal judges ruled that a court had not considered his complex developmental and mental health background.

Dylan Willis, 18, who pleaded guilty to violent disorder after repeatedly smashing the window with a brick, had his 14-month sentence suspended by court of appeal judges on Thursday.
