Yep, in vino veritas as they say.Alcohol should never be an excuse in any trial. In my experience it actually portrays the real character of a person.
He should be facing a lengthy prison sentence and there should be no question that he should be dismissed from the Army. He beat a woman unconscious, resulting in her having broken a nose, a serious concussion and serious facial injuries, after she asked him to stop shouting homophobic slurs on the street. The latter alone should bring into question his suitability to serve in the defence forces."He said his name had been blackened around Limerick and when asked why, he replied, ‘I hit a girl – not a good look’.”
He almost makes it sound like a third party was responsible for the loss of his "good" reputation.Blackened as if he's been unfairly judged.
The only good thing about this is no self respecting girl will have anything to do with this coward ever again.
Completely agree on all above. Watch the space to see if the army brush this under the carpet and he gets a tour abroad where he can impose more serious damage or deathSoldier walks free after beating woman unconscious and boasting about it on social media https://jrnl.ie/6414853
Any serving officer giving a character reference for such an individual needs to be disciplined.
That dreadful individual weaing a state uniform needs a hefty prison sentence 5 years plus.
I'm sick and tired of people like this getting off on character references.
These people have zero character and belong in jail and to be frank the referee needs a good kicking also along with the useless judge.
Sentence is disgusting.
Sent an email to Simon Harris relating to this sentence.
Yes, the DPP can appeal any sentence if the trial took place in the Circuit, Central Criminal or Special Criminal Court. They cannot appeal a sentence of the District Court.I presume that the DPP can appeal any sentence as too lenient?
