DPP seeks increased sentences for "fatal" burglary at 62-year-old's home
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Judge Tom O'Donnell sentenced both men at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court to four-and-a-half years imprisonment with the final year suspended on December 15, 2016. Counsel for Michael Casey, Vincent Heneghan SC, said the final year of the sentences were suspended on condition both cousins be of good behaviour for six years from the date of sentence.; Mr Heneghan said the Circuit Court judge did not hand sentence down "there and then" but adjourned the case to consider all aspects.
