Stage: Appeal
Plea: Not guilty
Outcome: Hall moved to appeal his sentence today on grounds that the sentencing judge either ignored or gave insufficient weight to various mitigating factors and it was "utterly unknown" how the figure of 20 years was arrived at. Granting Hall a determinant sentence, where he had a release date, effectively mitigated the sentence that might have been forthcoming, Mr Grehan said.
