Attack by "fixated" work colleague left victim with 120 stitches to his face, court hears
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Passing sentence today, Judge Martin Nolan said McGrath "made extreme threats, and these were very believable threats." Judge Nolan said the second incident related to McGrath becoming "fixated with this injured party. He stated that mental health problems and conditions should be considered as mitigation factors, saying, "This does not excuse the crime, but it should be taken into account." Judge Nolan sentenced McGrath to six years in prison, with the final two years suspended for two years.
