Van driver who hit cyclist causing severe brain trauma is jailed for one year
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Judge Catherine Murphy imposed a three and a half year sentence with the final two and a half years suspended on strict conditions which include probation supervision, abstinence from drug and alcohol use and attending all scheduled mental health appointments. She said the sentence may appear light to the family of the victim but told them that if Meade did not comply with the conditions of the suspended portion of the sentence it would be activated.
