Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: In bringing an undue leniency appeal before the Court of Appeal in October, counsel for the DPP, David Perry BL, said that Murphy was sentenced to nine and a half years for manslaughter, plus two and a half years consecutive to that for the other offences, with this latter aspect of the sentence suspended in its entirety to foster rehabilitation. He said the DPP took issue with both the two-and-a-half-year sentence imposed on Murphy and its suspension, arguing that although the headline sentence was set at four and a half years, it should have been five.
