Appeal court rejects drug dealer's claim that prison "too difficult" for him
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Judge Martin Nolan described Bourke as a "wholesaler and distributor" to people who were selling drugs, as he sentenced Bourke to ten years in prison last December. Remarking that in all the circumstances, the offending could have resulted in consecutive sentences, Ms Doherty said the sentence imposed was very fair.
