Grandad busted for drugs after accidentally shooting himself in leg
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He said if the case had simply been the firearms charge alone, then he would have imposed a suspended sentence as it arose from an act of desperation on the defendant's part. However, Judge Nolan noted Byrne "knew right from wrong" and deserved a custodial sentence in relation to the drugs charge.
