"Frightening" syringe mugger is jailed
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Passing sentence today, Judge Pauline Codd condemned the fact that Reilly had targeted two women walking alone on dark evenings and had subjected them to extremely frightening experiences. She sentenced Reilly to five years in prison and suspended the final two years, giving him credit for his guilty pleas, his apology and a "relatively positive" probation report.
