  "account": "On April 2025, Adam Barry, 26, stole a grandmother's bank card after running over Mary Iviglia, 66, in a hospital car park. Barry, who had a history of homelessness, drug use, and mental health issues, dragged Ms Iviglia several meters before continuing to drive away. She suffered serious injuries including fractures to her eye socket, cheekbone, ribs, and a laceration to her forehead. The court heard that Barry failed to stop and render assistance, which Judge Anthony Lewis deemed morally reprehensible. Barry was sentenced to at least two-and-a-half years in prison, with time served, he will be eligible for parole in October 2027. Ms Iviglia's daughter, Georgie Thobis, expressed disappointment with the leniency of the sentence, stating that it lacks the sense of responsibility that comes with facing the victim.",
