'Learned Impunity': the trial of garda murderer Stephen Silver
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: However, instead of resuming his life, Silver will now serve a minimum sentence of 40 years in prison for capital murder, after a Central Criminal Court jury rejected his defence that he was suffering a relapse of his bipolar disorder that diminished his responsibility at the time of the shooting.
