Mervyn Davidson, 44, pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the “ferocious” supermarket attack at Albion Park Rail in January last year, which also involved him punching a police officer and later choking - but not killing - a cellmate with his t-shirt.
Judge Andrew Haesler at Wollongong District Court on Friday sentenced Davidson to 11 years in prison with a non-parole period of seven years and eight months.
