Strokestown assault conviction overturned by High Court
Stage: Appeal
Finding: Convicted
Outcome: Convicted; In March 2024, Mr Taylor took an appeal to the Circuit Court against the conviction, which resulted in a two-month custodial sentence. Mr Justice Simons then quashed the assault conviction and added that it was not in the public interest to have the matter remitted, as Mr Taylor had already served a two-month sentence for contempt in the matter.
