“She saw her relative being pinned to the floor.
“He became more and more upset, face down on the ground in the rain. She tried to talk him down.
“She wanted to make sure he went quietly. She thought she was doing right by him. There were no threats of violence. She shouldn’t have said what she said.”
The court heard she was convicted of common assault and criminal damage at a trial in January 2016.
Magistrates gave her a 12 month conditional discharge and she was ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £20 and costs of £85.
