**Vai**

He's a 35 year old burglar. 25 would just be ridiculous.

Go Judge Birthday!

Yakult

Coffey, who has 80 previous convictions for burglary, pointed out that his birthday would be on October 28th, Judge Ring asked whether it would be better for him to be sentenced before or after.

Just wow.

i give up on this countries bleeding Judicial system.:mad:

If he was turning 21, I'd understand, but 35.

I know someone who had a case adjourned because he was going to Canada for a while. His solicitor said that if he was found guilty he wouldn't be able to go so the judge agreed to put the case back a few months. Brilliant stuff.

I don't really get the issue anyway, he would probably be out before his birthday if sentenced now.

Further proof they live in another world out of touch with reality

No defending this really, ridiculous

That should be some party.

How do you get to be a judge here? Collect 10 crisp packets or something?

Shocking:eek:

Might as well wait until after he's celebrated Christmas. Season of goodwill and all that.

Just don't go out that night or he could be having it in your house!

Yet again proof that the judiciary in this country do not live on the same planet as the rest of us. Odds on seeing this guy in court again soon and they report that he burgled a house while he was on this "continuing bail" ?

I would have more faith in Judge from Wanderly Wagon than some of these clowns

Yeah ****ing armed response swat teams would swoop in and 60 detectives put on the case.

are the judges in this country in some sort of verbal agreement with the department of justice not to send people to prison because of overcrowding or something?

and why is the judiciary allowing another system of justice overrule the written law? this "rehabilitation" of criminals outside the justice system shouldn't be a get out clause for crimes going unpunished

they should give up their positions and become social workers if they care about the well being of criminals so much

so Judge Ring remanded him on continuing bail until sentence on Halloween.

Will he miss the trick or treating then?

I can only imagine how insulted the victims of the burglary must have felt if they were in court to witness that. Absolutely mind numbingly bad decision on the Judges part. Is losing ones liberty and thus missing out on things like birthday parties, not supposed to be a punishment for comitting a criminal offence these days

imagine how his future victims will feel!

Irish Guitarist

Isn't it obvious why the judge did this? If the criminal celebrated his birthday in prison someone would have brought him a birthday cake with a file in it.

Do these judges not realise or care about the pure misery that a scumbag like this inflicts on innocent people, who's lives or often left in pieces after being victims of his crimes. 80 previous convictions at 35 years of age not a reason in this world that he should be allowed walk free amongst decent people.

the purple tin

Maybe he'll go out and get pissed for his birthday and end up back in front of the judge on a drunk and disorderly charge :pac:

Go, go, go, go go, go, go, shawty
It's your birthday
We gon' party like it's yo birthday

And you know we don't give a fuck
It's not your birthday!

I suppose, as a birthday present, he'll ask him if he'd rather spend his sentence in a 5 star hotel. ffs.

Indeed and if they caused a ruckus over what is clearly utterly daft guff from a so called judge I wouldn't be surprised if they got contempt of court for it.

**** me the judge and the scumbag should both be shot by firing squad.

Yeah, but you can't keep him locked in for New Year's either........then Paddy's Day is just around the corner......can't lock him up then as Easter is just a few weeks after that......and what if we have another decent summer next year, sure he'll miss the drinking sessions in the field don't ya know, better to sentence him in September 2014 so........ oh, wait, ya can't do that, sure his birthday is just after that.....then Christmas ..........etc etc etc. :mad:

Remember, that's 80 times where he has been caught, charged and taken to court, he's probably committed several hundred crimes. There are few things worse than having your gaff broken into, happened to us once, only when we moved 8 months later did we feel anyways comfortable.

omahaid

To be honest, I enjoy these daft judges. Each one of these stories makes it harder for the usual bunch to defend a clearly out of touch judiciary. The dafter the judges the quicker the reform will come.

Anyone care to do a quick tot on that accumulated legal aid bill?

He was probably only in court about a dozen times though, they like to roll charges together for the concurrent sentences.

EyeSight

what a joke. I read in this mornings Metro that a woman stabbed another woman 3 times with a box cutter and got a suspended sentence. think it was Judge Nolan

So in the unlikely event that the guards do something about the scum in this country, the judges will let them go with a badge of honour. Better check my road tax is paid

Easier to avoid court dates clashing with birthday parties I guess.

What are the odds?

catallus

At a max of €110 per appearance by his solicitor and lets guess an average of four appearances per offence (being generous and erring on the side of caution), is 110x4x80 = €35200.

He probably first saw a courtroom when he was 18, so it only works out at about €2200 per year.

Part troll

Brutal,
i'm sure he will burgle himself a nice few birthday presents, between now and the time he heads in to the slammer...


crime does pay, or more precisely, courts don't matter.....

80 previous convictions.....For F#ck sake!

Nice to see that the victims of crime in this country continue to remain irrelevant.

Such a shame those Judges dont walk out the front door of the Courts after their days work.

They should have to do the walk of shame while we all slow clap as they slink out.

PizzamanIRL

What? WHAT? What the **** is wrong with our system? **** his birthday he'll have another one every other year. He'll just be drinking and joking about the stupid judge.

Soft judges.

I was talking to a cousin of mine who just finished four years, he told me you have to pay something like 100 euro for a ps2 and stuff in the prison shop is really expensive and if you want anything other than prison food you pay for it, dont know how truthful that is though

weeel that's not completely true is it ? Whilst your in prison you are in care of the Irish prison service which would be similar to being babysat, and I never said I agree with it I was adding my two cents

Or just join the correct party when you're in UCD (almost 80% of judges in this state had been members of the Kevin Barry Cumann of Fianna Fáil in UCD)

Nasty person of a judge !!!
