Stage: Appeal
Plea: Not guilty
Finding: Found guilty
Outcome: Found guilty; Murphy, of Riverstown, Gaultrimsland, Dundalk, Co, Louth, was found guilty by a jury in 2021 and sentenced by Judge Martina Baxter at Dundalk Courthouse to seven years with the final year suspended. She said that the sentence imposed on Murphy was too low, considering he did not accept the jury verdict and had pleaded not guilty.
