Suspended sentence appropriate for former drug dealer doing his 'level best'

Stage: Appeal

Plea: Guilty

Outcome: He was sentenced to three and a half years for the drug offence, fully suspended, with a concurrent one-year sentence on the second charge, also fully suspended by Judge Helen Boyle at Cork Circuit Criminal Court last November. In dismissing the appeal at the Court of Appeal today, Mr Justice Brian O'Moore said Adeagbo had satisfied the judge that he was drug free at the time of sentencing, had complied entirely with everything that was asked of him by the Probation Service and had done his "level best" to get himself back on track. "The sentencing judge was quite entitled, in those truly exceptional circumstances, to fully suspend the sentence imposed on Mr Adeagbo," Mr Justice O'Moore said.

'Active' member of drugs trade should never have received suspended sentence, State argues

Stage: Appeal

Plea: Guilty

Outcome: He was sentenced last November by Judge Helen Boyle to three years and six months on the drugs charge, fully suspended, with one year concurrent on the second charge, also fully suspended. Ms Kelly argued that there were no wholly exceptional circumstances present that could warrant fully suspending this sentence, meaning the sentencing judge fell into error. "This is a store person and a delivery man," said Ms Kelly, adding that the case did not meet the wholly exceptional grounds that would justify the imposition of a fully suspended sentence.
