Violent criminal who attacked former partner on bus and knocked her unconscious avoids jail for second time
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Brady was given a wholly suspended two year sentence by Ms Justice Carmel Stewart on March 10 2014, which the Director of Public Prosecutions claimed was "unduly lenient". Counsel for the DPP, Anne-Marie Lawlor BL, submitted to the Court of Appeal today that the trial judge had erred in imposing a non-custodial sentence on Brady and further that the suspension should have been for a much greater period of time.
