Jeniffer Rocha, a 35-year-old Deliveroo rider, has been at the center of a legal battle after causing a serious injury to Stephen Jenkinson, a 36-year-old customer. The incident occurred during a heated dispute over a Pizza Express order, which resulted in a permanent and irreversible injury for Jenkinson. Despite the severity of the situation, Rocha has been spared jail time.
According to reports, the argument began when Jenkinson was unable to provide a pick-up code for the food his partner had ordered. This seemed to trigger Rocha, who went on to physically attack Jenkinson in a reckless manner. Witnesses described the assault as brutal, with Rocha raining punches on Jenkinson's head before biting down on his hand. The result? Jenkinson's thumb was completely severed above the knuckle, leaving him with a serious injury that required surgery.
During the court proceedings, it was revealed that Rocha had admitted to grievous bodily harm in March, just before her trial was set to begin. She was subsequently given a 16-month sentence, but it was suspended for 18 months by Judge Timothy Mousley KC. The judge cited excessive self-defense as the reason for this decision, stating that it was clear that Jenkinson's thumb going into Rocha's mouth was an accident and not intentional.
However, despite the ruling, Judge Mousley KC made it clear that the injury caused by Rocha was severe and permanent. He also acknowledged the mitigating factors in her case, stating that she does not pose a risk to the public. This was taken into consideration when suspending her sentence.
The court heard that the incident took place on December 14, 2022, when Mr. Jenkinson had ordered pizza from Deliveroo to his home in Hampshire. Rocha, who was working as a replacement rider for her husband, arrived at the wrong address. This led to an argument between her and Jenkinson over the delivery code, which he was required to show. It was during this confrontation that the injury occurred.
In conclusion, while Rocha's actions were reckless and resulted in a serious injury, Judge Mousley KC took into account the circumstances and decided to suspend her sentence. Rocha, a married mother of two, has expressed remorse for her actions and has been deemed not to be a threat to the public.
