Indebted cancer sufferer who began dealing after taking cannabis for illness is jailed
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Imposing sentence today, Judge Orla Crowe said Nolan was actively involved in the distribution of drugs, which have a "deleterious" impact on society at large. Judge Crowe noted Nolan had a "fraught medical history" but said his offending had to be marked with a custodial term and handed him a sentence of three years and nine months, with the final nine months suspended on strict conditions.
