Man Sentenced for Savage Home Attack | Glasgow News

A 45-year-old man with a violent past, Michael Doherty, has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for a savage stabbing attack that left his victim critically injured and permanently disfigured. Despite claiming self-defense and admitting he “finished it,” Doherty’s callous demeanor—including asking police about the victim’s fate—left no doubt about his intent. With 28 prior convictions, including a previous eight-year sentence for attempted murder, the judge called the assault “savage” and emphasized Doherty’s “significant callousness.” The attack occurred while Doherty was high on cocaine, after being contacted by a woman and confronted by the victim, who allegedly told him to leave. The victim survived but spent time in intensive care. Doherty will also face three years of community supervision and an indefinite restraining order, with violations risking additional jail time.
