Mother and Son Sentenced for Brutal Drug-Fueled Beatdown

In a shocking turn of events, Sarah Mason and Matthew Pearson, a mother and son duo, were sentenced for their relentless attack on Alan Ward, a drug dealer, in Lincoln. The assault, caught on CCTV, showed Mason and Pearson pummeling Ward over 160 times, leaving him with a brain bleed. Both pleaded guilty to causing serious harm with intent, with Pearson also admitting to assaulting police officers and damaging property. Despite Wards critical condition, the attackers showed no remorse, with Pearson even expressing regret for not selling the drugs. At Lincoln Crown Court, Judge Simon Hirst sentenced Pearson to ten years and three months in prison, with an additional four years on extended license due to his prior assault convictions. Mason received eight years, with her lawyer citing her lack of violent past and intoxication on the day of the attack. This case serves as a stark reminder of how drug desperation can lead to unimaginable violence, with both parties now facing the consequences of their actions.
