Man with 69 previous convictions who helped murderer is given 'further chance'
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He warned Cummins not to offend again and added: "You have an opportunity now to lead a life away from crime, so take it." The State had today sought the reactivation of the suspended portion of the sentence of nine years with the final two suspended imposed by Mr Justice White. Cummins and James Davy were re-sentenced in September 2021 to serve nine years' imprisonment with the final two years suspended for the substituted offence of impeding the apprehension of an offender.
