What sort of sentence will he be looking at?

Max 25 for the murder & 3 for the gun charge

It doesn't really seem like a lot.
He could be sharing a cell with the King of Spains brother-in-law or Ronaldo... :pac:

Irish man James Quinn has been sentenced to 22 years in prison.

State prosecutors had told his murder trial judge they wanted him jailed for the maximum 25 years for the murder of Gary Hutch and three years for illegal weapons possession.

But judge Ernesto Carlos Manzano sentenced him to only 20 years for murder - the minimum he could have got under Spanish law - and two years for the gun crime.

Lawyers for Quinn, 35, had announced they would appeal after jurors found him guilty of the two crimes last Friday after a four-day trial.

His defence lawyers had asked for the judge to sentence him to the minimum term

How many will he actually do? its hardly like Irish law that they get a 1/3th off for good behaviour. You have to admire the spanish courts a murder trial done and dusted in a week and sentence a week later. If that was here it would drag on for weeks and cost the taxpayer millions..

it seems like he will do the full stretch. a quick google shows that they dont do remission for good behaviour in spain.

Depends on the amount of evidence they have go through. A Murder case was finished up within three days yesterday with a guilty verdict.

He'll never pay the 90k awarded to the Hutch family either.

He'll probably need that to pay off anyone that may be tempted to take a hit on him in Gaol.
If I was a Hutch, I would be paying every inmate in there to kill him. It started the whole thing.. More or less.

The 'John Smith's Twitter account has been tweeting Jamie Moore asking for the 200k back seeing as they reneged on the deal.

I don't think Jamie has replied yet.:pac:

There is that 'rumoured' link between Patsy, Gary and Jamie.

No wonder Ireland and Spain’s crime and gang murders pale in significance.

So are you saying Ireland has much worse crime and gang problem than Spain?

Wheeliebin30 wrote:

Yes.

That's highly subjective isn't it? relative lived in Spain for a couple of years, mixing with some of their finest, isn't all that peaceful over there

One of the lowest crime rates in Europe no?

its important to realise, all data has errors and is highly subjective, and is sometimes meaningless, spain is probably just as dangerous as any developed country such as ours. its hard to measure the unmeasurable

Nothing to do with the weather......

Italy,France,Australia are just three examples of other countries with nice weather and arent full of Irish and English scumbags. Its may be a factor but its not the main reason

Any stats to back that up?

I think you are way, way off the mark.

Have you any to back up your opinion? That will soften their cough...

Italy - Mafia
France - similar to slightly poorer climate
Australia- distance/citizenship/no entry with criminal convictions
