Hiya
Do courts allow anyone to find out what sentence theyve given to people that day?
Just asking as on Monday someone who threatened me with a baseball bat after kicking in the front door of the shared house Im in, is in court...and it would be nice to know what happens to him
Any help greatly appreciated

With a few very rare exceptions all adult court proceedings are public events and the results are in the public domain and can be obtained freely by the methods already mentioned. This has nothing to do with the fairly recent Freedom of Information Act.
Furthermore, as the victim you have the legal right to know the outcome of the case against your assailant and should be told as a matter of course by either the Witness Liaison office or the police.
