'Commitments' actor jailed for knife robbery
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Mr Le Vert requested that Murtagh be placed in custody. "If he doesn't go into custody and begin serving a sentence now, he's in a precarious position." Judge Codd handed down a four-and-a-half year sentence and suspended the final 18 months in order to facilitate rehabilitation for Murtagh. Murtagh told the judge: "God bless you" after the sentence was handed down.
