"Out of his head" driver avoids increased sentence for causing death of friend
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He was sentenced to four years imprisonment with the final year suspended by Judge Michael O'Shea on March 9, 2017. There was no doubt that the sentence imposed was "lenient, indeed very lenient" but that did not provide a basis for the Court of Appeal to interfere.
