Criminal has sentence increased for violent disorder in home of "harmless soul" who was violently attacked
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Judge John O'Hagan subsequently sentenced him to two years imprisonment on June 3, 2015. However, Doyle's sentence was increased to five years imprisonment with the final two suspended today following a successful appeal by the Director of Public Prosecutions on grounds that his original term was "unduly lenient".
