Barrister loses appeal against conviction for headbutting creche manager

A qualified barrister who headbutted a créche manager and broke her nose has lost an appeal against his conviction for assault causing harm, writes Ann O'Loughlin.

In October, 2013, Michael Waters (aged 44), of Ava Avenue, Belfast, was given a suspended three-year sentence after he was found guilty by a majority jury of assaulting Marian Wallace on January 4, 2012.
