    Its not up to anybody or everybody or what I think,Its up to the law of the land and the courts, Gilligan was tried and acquitted of the murder .You cant or imo should not have people in court on one charge and for that person to get sentenced on another.
    The law of the land sucks. He was behind Veronica Guerin's callous murder leaving a little boy without a mother so I wish him nothing but the worse in life. I know he didn't pull the trigger but he might as well have. Sentences are too lenient in this country.

    The 20 year sentence was from 1996 not 2001.His original sentence was extremely harsh as well 28 years from importing hash:eek:

    Crazy sentence, If that's all they could get him for after all of the investigations it says a lot.

    True put there have been cases of people being caught with 10-15 millions worth of heroin and only getting 10 years

    Exactly, Its pathetic, Heroin dealers should get larger sentences.

    11/28 = 39% SERVED

    That's 61% OFF, which is an absolute disgrace and would be a joke if it weren't letting thugs and low-likes back into out society.

    Liam, He is actually serving twenty years not twenty eight, And his sentences start from the time he was in custody in Ireland, Remember the photo's of him coming off the plane dressed like a clown, I think it was a GB prison uniform.

    True, I think it should be legal too.

    My mate says he's a bit of a joke in the prisons now, youngfellas shouting abuse at him ect..

    Yes, They mock the **** out of him, A lot of people don't like him, They blame him for the crackdown after VG's death.

    Yes, There was a lot more to do with that case then the simple theory that JG ordered her death and Brian Meehan drove the bike and Dutchy Holland shot her, A lot of criminals fled and others ratted their way out of it so I reckon it was a much larger operation than just those three. I'd almost wager that DH didn't even shoot her, I reckon one of the informers actually done it and I'd say another well known criminal that VG knew was heavily involved.
