The Kyle wrecks your head thread

[Julio_Geordio]

Great to see the justice system back at its best after that awful Pat Ryan blip.

There’s a 92% chance of getting a prison sentence for one count of violent disorder in the Republic, unless you’re an important IC cog, in which case it’s pretty much zero I’d say.

[flattythehurdler]

I haven’t quite got over dermo yet. It bothers me still.

@Massey

Jack’s will be wedged tonight

1 Hayes free, two to go

[Julio_Geordio]

I’d say there’s a less than 1% chance of actually serving anytime for it

[flattythehurdler]

69% got an immediate prison sentence.

@flattythehurdler

I will. I’m far more bothered by the case where your man stabbed his brother in law to death having told him he would, done so, and then told the gardai that he’d deserved it, and he was found innocent of murder still.
Yet the clearly mentally ill lady who set the car on fire with her and the kids in it is found guilty and gets life.

That lady wouldn’t let her barrister plead mental illness so once she pleaded guilty there could only be one outcome

69% got an immediate prison sentence.

How many actually spent longer than a few hours inside?

Where is that statistic from?

Violent disorder is pretty much a public order offence and will likely result in much more than a fine, let alone a suspended custodial sentence. The assault charge was by far the more serious one.

As an aside, it has now been made much more difficult for the complainant to pursue a civil case for damages as a conviction for assault against his person has not been secured.

[flattythehurdler]

Informative rating. I’d have thought there might be a Res ipsa loquitur. I didn’t realize that. One of those cases you wake up thinking about at 5am.

That’s a different country mate

[Elvis_Brandenberg_Kr]

That’s from a different jurisdiction FFS.

[Breaking_my_balls]

Tommy the Tan has himself in an awful spin here

[dodgy_keeper]

He’ll be a savage loss for the Waterford Crystal, but we’ll plough on.

Not guilty of the most serious charge. Fair play to the brave members of the jury who didn’t buckle in the face of mass media hysteria.

[Massey]

Hopefully Kyle will tog out for us in the Darts tonight,were badly missing him.

[Julio_Geordio]

Its in the best interests of public safety that Kyle’s off season is as short as possible.

[Julio_Geordio]

Is he good at the darts? The long arms would have him half way to the board I suppose

[Massey]

Wouldn’t be as good as me but he’s alright,will spring him off the bench

[flattythehurdler]

Poor oul balls was getting sweaty there.
