A pregnant mother-of-three who launched a brutal attack on a pensioner during a funeral wake has walked free from court.
Danielle Oliver, 39, threw herself at 65-year-old Belinda Stickland without warning inside the Conservative Club in Splott, Cardiff, during a family funeral on June 9 last year.
The assault was so severe that it left the pensioner with fractured ribs, breathing difficulties and a lasting diagnosis of emphysema.
Cardiff Crown Court heard how Ms Stickland had to be rushed to hospital and kept in for nine days, during which doctors drained fluid from her lungs.
She later said the violent and prolonged attack had changed her life 'in every way'.
