Drogheda criminal Crosby gets 10 years for role in 'inhuman' Mulready-Woods murder
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He set the headline sentence for Crosby at 13 years and six months but having considered his guilty plea he reduced that to ten years and six months with the final six months suspended for two years. Since going into custody, he has engaged with the Irish Red Cross and has a Gaisce Award in employment skills. "The green shoots of recovery are well established," he said, adding: "he is now abstinent [from drugs] and has been for some time in custody." Crosby is also entitled to a 25 percent discount on whatever headline sentence the court sets due to his early guilty plea, counsel said.
