Aaron Wilson was jailed for eight-and-a-half years for assault causing serious harm at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, as reported on 1 August 2019. The attack happened in Dublin 8 on 19 January 2014, after Wilson pursued Aaron Kiely and assaulted him three times. Kiely suffered fractures to both sides of his skull, a brain blood clot and permanent hearing loss, and requires round-the-clock care. Judge Martin Nolan said the case warranted 12 years before mitigation, including Wilson’s guilty plea, prison reports and remorse. Wilson had 14 previous convictions for minor road traffic offences.
