If the trial was here he’d have got a suspended sentence
You’d wonder why these people chose a life of crime when you are so likely to end up dead or in prison
@Tweety McTweeter: Greed.
@Tweety McTweeter: I blame Fine Gael
@Tweety McTweeter: that’s so true they should have chosen to be a banker or politician, it’s so much easier to live and get away with ripping people off. But outside of that it’s a good day for the Garda in dealing with these criminals
@Tweety McTweeter: I find the violence as abhorrent as the next, but if you followed this case you’d likely agree this conviction is unsafe. The prosecution changed stance at the last minute from saying he did the killing to he might have been the getaway driver.
@Tweety McTweeter: And Prison in Spain is a different story than our soft regime. They will wake up in the mornings with a big sweaty hairy Moroccan cell mate whispering sweet nothings in their ears !
I see the Predator cleaned himself up and got a new job.
@Seaghán Corcoran: ha ha cracker seaghan
