A VIOLENT teenager who updated his Facebook status to 'full-time killer' after a disabled man he attacked dies of a brain haemorrhage has been spared jail. Scott Hall, 28, was punched in the face by the teen and his accomplice, also 15, then kicked as he lay unconscious on the pavement. Mr Hall died 11 days after the unprovoked attack following a brain haemorrhage. The brutal attack could not be linked directly to the bleed in the brain which killed Mr Hall, who suffered from a rare brain disorder which affected his balance. So despite the boy's sick boast about being a killer, he was charged with assault causing actual bodily harm. Scott's family spoke of their devastation at his death as both teen attackers walked free with community sentences. Known as a referral orders, they are handed to juveniles who admit their crimes. The paid were also ordered to pay £1,000 compensation, which Mr Hall's family pledged to gie to the charities he supported.
