Jail for father who held up shop to pay son's drug debt
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He received a seven year sentence in 2012, with the final five suspended, for robberies. Judge Greally imposed a new five year sentence for this offence but suspended the final four years, taking into account Murphy's genuine remorse, his desire to deal with his drug issues and his guilty plea.; He said he was sorry for what he had done and had been remanded in custody since the attempted raid.
