Outcome: Photo: Collins) David Mahon has been sentenced to seven years in custody for the manslaughter of his partner's son, Dean Fitzpatrick. She said she also took into account all of the victim impact statements as well as testimonials furnished by three different people on behalf of the accused. "I assess the gravely serious offence as meriting 10 years in prison," she said. "Taking into account the mitigating factors, I sentence David Mahon to seven years in custody." She backdated the sentence to the date of his conviction, when Mahon went into custody.
