Stage: Sentence
Plea: Not guilty
Finding: Convicted
Outcome: Convicted; Today Judge Patricia Ryan handed Whelan a sentence of ten years and six months, with the final 12 months suspended for three years on strict conditions. Mr McKenna said the Director of Public Prosecution's view is that the offence fell into the upper range and justified a sentence of between 10 and 15 years, given the severity of the injuries and the impacts it had on the victim's life, the fact that it was an unprovoked attack that occurred in the victim's home and that Whelan had used a bottle as a weapon.
