'Wouldn't be out of place in a Tarantino movie': Lunney kidnappers challenge sentences for 'animalistic' torture and abduction
Stage: Appeal
Outcome: Harte's legal team said today that his 30-year term was "a life sentence by a different name", while O'Brien and Redmond's lawyers suggested the sentences imposed on their clients were too high and failed to properly consider mitigating factors. He said the incident wouldn't be "out of place in a Tarantino movie" and argued Harte's term of imprisonment, while significant, was "appropriate".
