## Summary

Mark Wigley has been jailed for nine years for the manslaughter of Liam Green, whom he hit with his car during a dispute over grass cutting in Cudworth, near Barnsley. The case matters because the court found Wigley intended to strike Green and cause injury, while rejecting the murder charge.

The incident followed Green offering to cut grass for £7.50 at Wigley’s mother’s home; she felt upset and shared doorbell images with relatives who believed she was being harassed. Wigley’s daughter Sarah and brother-in-law Neil Shaw were cleared of all charges, and he will be banned from driving for five years after release. Green’s family described the lasting grief caused by his death.
