No reduction in sentence for man who falsely imprisoned island couple on Valentine's night
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment with the final three suspended by Mr Justice Tony Hunt on January 16, 2012. McMahon had an appeal against the severity of his sentence dismissed today on the single ground that the judge erred in failing to attach sufficient weight to his offer of compensation to the victims.
