Serial offender with 116 priors has prison sentence suspended
Stage: Appeal
Finding: Convicted
Outcome: Convicted; Meehan was convicted in the District Court and was given a sentence of five months consecutive to another 42 month sentence he is currently serving for a different matter. Judge Christopher Callan said that it was "a stretch" to ask for a suspended sentence in this case, as Meehan was on release from prison when this crime occurred and he "succumbed to addiction again" and was driven to reoffend.
