Gifted athlete avoids custody for role in attempted hi-jacking where taxi driver was choked unconscious (https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/gifted-athlete-avoids-custody-for-role-in-attempted-hi-jacking-where-taxi-driver-was-choked-unconscious-914938.html)
Twas the drink and drugs
In the pre-sentence probation report the teenager had failed to take responsibility for his role in the robbery even though he had pleaded guilty.
Sparing him a custodial sentence, he imposed a 12-month probation bond meaning the teen must continue to be supervised by the Probation Service and accept its guidance for the next year. He must also not re-offend during that period otherwise the case could be re-entered and a more serious penalty, including custody, imposed. A second youth has been given a nine-month custodial sentence for his involvement in the attempted hi-jacking.
