Drunk driver who killed elderly man and injured two gardai is jailed after DPP appeal
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Sentencing him to 240 hours of community service in lieu of a four-year prison sentence, Judge Rory McCabe said a four year sentence would have been appropriate but the interests of justice would not be served by sending Nestor to prison. Accordingly, Mr Justice McCarthy, who sat with President of the Court of Appeal Mr Justice George Birmingham and Mr Justice John Hedigan, resentenced Nestor to four years imprisonment with the final two suspended.
