'I'll kill you all': halting site firearms conviction 'perverse', lawyers argue
Stage: Appeal
Finding: Acquitted
Outcome: Acquitted; Simon Quilligan, who was found not guilty of an attempted murder at the site, was sentenced to six years' imprisonment at the Central Criminal Court for the possession of a firearm with the intent to endanger life at the same location. Mr Justice MacGrath sentenced Quilligan to eight years' imprisonment with the final two years suspended for possession of the firearm with intent to endanger life, to two years for the two counts of threat to kill or cause serious harm and to six months for the criminal damage, with all terms to run concurrently.
