Dublin man has manslaughter sentence reduced
Stage: Appeal
Outcome: Ms Justice Mary Finlay Geoghegan, presiding at the Court of Appeal, today said the court found that the trial judge did err in principle in the sentence he imposed, and the court was satisfied that Millea was entitled to succeed in his appeal against the severity of the sentence. Ms Justice Finlay-Geoghegan said the court would therefore set aside the sentence of ten years with two years suspended.
