James Stock Sentenced After Brutal Assault | Bristol News

James Stock just received a 20-year sentence for attempting to murder Caroline Goddard in a brutal attack that left her with a fractured nose and severe bruising — part of a pattern of violent assaults. Caroline, still haunted by the trauma and fear of his possible release, says she can’t look in the mirror and suffers from constant anxiety. Stock initially pleaded guilty to strangulation but denied attempted murder — a charge he was convicted of after trial. He also admitted to assaulting her just a month earlier. Detectives called the attack potentially fatal and praised Caroline’s courage in speaking out, urging others in abusive situations to come forward and seek help.
