Regency getaway drivers say prison sentences were too high
Stage: Appeal
Outcome: Jonathan Dowdall – who facilitated the murder of David Byrne – received a headline sentence of eight years, but his "level of immersion" was at a far deeper level than Bonney's and was over a more extended period of time. On October 17, 2022, Jonathan Dowdall was sentenced by the Special Criminal Court to four years imprisonment for facilitating the Hutch gang in the murder of Byrne.
