Three men have been handed lengthy jail terms for running over a defenceless man and kicking him as he lay on the ground.
Judge Ebraham Mooncey told brothers Daniel and David Brittle and co-defendant Samuel Wright they would each go to jail for nine years for their part in the "horrendous" revenge attack.
They had been found guilty at a previous hearing of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent on 28-year-old Dean Pick who suffered a broken leg and ankle and a fractured jaw in the assault.
The attack was so severe that a bone was left poking through out of his leg.
He also suffered severe bruising on his arms where he had been kicked and punched.
As the judge announced the sentence there was swearing and calls that it "was a f***ing joke" from friends and family of the defendants in the packed public gallery.
Judge Mooncey told the shouters to leave the seats at Derby Crown Court as the three men were taken down to begin their prison sentences yesterday (mon).
At an earlier hearing a jury had been told that Mr Pick was attacked on the night of Saturday, September 8, 2012 after an incident near the Thurmaston Working Men's Club where he had head butted Daniel Brittle.
Daniel Brittle had then phoned his older brother David who arrived on the scene in his car and chased Mr Pick knocking him down from behind.
Mr Pick spoke about having to flee in panic, fearing that his life was in danger.
A witness told the court that one of the defendants had said Mr Pick "f***ing deserved it".
Judge Mooncey told the defendants: "Dean Pick has permanent injuries that have changed his life forever as a result of a sustained assault on him.
"It was pre-planned and determined enterprise to track Dean Pick down and attack him.
"Your chase was unfinished business in your mind. Not content with running him down, at least two if not all three of you then gave him a horrendous beating. You punched and kicked him all over his body.
"Today I have been shown photographs of Dean Pick's injuries.
"Just looking at the ankle makes one wince. The skin is missing and the tissue and muscle is exposed. It does not take a genius to conclude a car impact caused that. The remaining photographs show extensive scarring."
He criticised the explanation that the defendants gave saying they left the scene as they were afraid of Dean Pick's friends arriving.
He said the story was "wholly unrealistic given the arrogance that you three plainly have".
In a victim impact statement, Mr Pick said he underwent surgery and was off work for four months and had to have metal plates inserted in his leg and ankle.
He said he suffered from anxiety and depression and could no longer carry on his favourite hobby of metal detecting because of the interference from the plates and his inability to walk on uneven ground. He said his leg and ankle hurt in cold weather.
Prosecuting Gary Short that Mr Pick had lost some feeling in his ankle but had now set up his own scaffolding business.
He said the assault was in the most serious category regarding grievous bodily harm.
Paul Trotter for dad-of-two Daniel Brittle (22), of Alexandra Street, Thurmaston, said his client was not responsible for the injuries inflicted by the car.
Mike Garvey for David Brittle (24), also of Alexandra Street, said the incident was totally out of character.
He said he was hard working and was well thought of by his employers.
Mr Garvey said: "The presence of family and friends here today is a testament to the support the defendants enjoy."
James Bide-Thomas for Wright (22) of Checkland Road, Thurmaston, presented a psychological assessment which said his client was suggestible and needed help with thinking skills.
Mr Bide-Thomas said he believed the judge had some leeway in sentencing when considering the involvement of each defendant.
He argued that the attack did not merit being in the top category of seriousness.
But Judge Mooncey stressed to the defendants that he considered the attack was a classic case of joint enterprise which just entered the bottom end of the most serious category of offence.
He said: "Your relative youth reduces the sentence you deserve and the fact that this will be your first custodial sentences also justifies a reduction in your sentence.
"The lowest sentence I can pass in this case for each of you is nine years."
Mr Pick and his family did not attend yesterday's hearing.
When the defendants were previously convicted his girlfriend Natasha Tubby, said Mr Pick was over the moon with verdicts.
She said: "Justice has been done."
