PHOTO: ROB KIDDA Clutha man who used a pool cue to violate a rugby player made a bid to have his sentence reviewed — until threatened with imprisonment. He was back in court yesterday where his counsel, Gordon Paine, made a fleeting application to have the sentence adjusted. Keach, the court heard, took a pool cue from a nearby rack and approached the victim who had his back to him. "He held the pool cue with both hands and with a forceful upwards motion stabbed [it] into the victim’s buttocks area," court documents said. The victim was bleeding heavily and visited the toilet a few times before physically taking his revenge on Keach.
