"Please don't leave me here to die": drunk, banned driver who seriously injured grandmother fails in appeal
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Power was sentenced at Clonmel Circuit Criminal Court to seven years imprisonment with the final 12 months suspended by Judge Thomas Teehan on July 31, 2013. Mr Justice Sheehan said the sentence imposed on Power was significant but the Court of Appeal was bound to allow a margin of appreciation to a sentencing judge.
