Resisting arrest, breaking a garda's jaw, not completing community service?
No angel is correct
Do you know what the word conviction means?
If you were in court many times and clocked up 27 convictions would you know?
I'd say many of you have been following this.
When I first read about it I thought it what was awful what happened the lad

So my question to AAM, did he deserve a beating from four gardaí?
As the more I learn about this case the more I reckon he did!

A 21-year-old man who claims he was beaten by four gardaí when he was 18 has admitted he has 27 previous convictions.
Owen Gaffney was being cross-examined on the third day of the trial of four gardaí accused of assaulting him while his mother was locked in a bathroom.
Mr Gaffney told defence counsel Hugh Hartnett that he was 'no angel' during his teenage years and admitted having a conviction for assaulting a garda whose jaw was broken.
But he denied there was history of violence towards gardaí.
Owen Gaffney said he served a prison sentence after he failed to complete a community service order. He also admitted resisting arrest in the past.

He admitted that he had a total of 27 previous convictions but denied deliberately leaving this out of his first statement to the Garda Ombudsman.
He said he told them he had been arrested a number of times but 'didn't actually know what the word conviction meant'.
