DPP concerned over role of prosecution after appeal court judgements
Stage: Appeal
Outcome: Kieran Ryan (29) successfully appealed against the severity of the eight-year sentence imposed on him for the possession of a handgun and ammunition. Presiding judge Mr Justice Frank Clarke said the court required to hear both sides on the proper sentence to be imposed in the light of all the circumstances of the case, including any materials relevant to Mr Ryan's conduct in prison.
