2.5-year sentence for 'trusted' drugs operative caught in €1.2m exchange was too low, court finds
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: At the Court of Appeal today, Mr Justice Isobel Kennedy said the court would increase the sentence by 18 months after noting that Lindsay had been a "trusted" operative in a wider drug operation. In re-sentencing Lindsay, Ms Justice Kennedy said an appropriate headline sentence was 10 years.
