A grandmother, whose daughter is set to be sentenced for taking part in violent disorder last month, is also facing a possible jail sentence for the same crime.

Vanessa Smith, of Finsbury Avenue, Newton Heath, appeared at Manchester Crown Court yesterday (Thursday, August 29), where her sentence was adjourned for the preparation of a pre-sentence report.

The 42-year-old has admitted the same offence as her daughter, Nevey Smith, 21, for her part in trouble outside the hotel in Newton Heath on July 31.

Nevey Smith, of West Street, Failsworth, earlier this month admitted violent disorder after being caught on camera throwing liquid from a bottle towards police officers who were trying to maintain order.

She was also seen to be pushing her child around in a stroller during the trouble.

Vanessa Smith, who like her daughter has no previous convictions, is now set to be sentenced three days after her daughter.

Daughter Nevey Smith will be sentenced at Manchester Crown Court on Monday, September 23, while her mother will be sentenced at the same court on Thursday, September 26.

The court heard that Vanessa Smith had caring responsibilities for a daughter and son who both have health issues.

Judge Patrick Field KC granted bail for the defendant, but warned her: “The judge who sentences you will have all sentencing options open to him or her, that must include a custodial sentence, so there must be no misunderstanding.”
