    I don't think that would be possible legally as there needs to be a public record of such things.

    Mere initials as already said are hardly much good in identifying the true identity of the ‘animals’ in this case.....in the Lucan area I’m sure there would be 100’s of individuals that would share the same initials.

    I’m sure in the local area people are well aware who they are. I’m sure people could find out if they really wanted to but there’s no point the information is no good to anyone really.

    Well the "true"identity doesn't need to be released but one can't be convicted of murder under an alias. I'm sure they were referred to by name in court & the initials on the court site would have needed to be correct I reckon, even if they're not identified by their full names.

    Are you saying it won't be listed on courts.ie? Very unusual if that was the case.

    Sentencing adjourned until October 29 and Judge ordered that all relevant reports be made available to the legal teams by October 21.

    Anyone any idea what is delaying the sentencing, or why this keeps getting stretched out?
    It's not as if Ana's parents haven't already been dragged through enough.
    If it's a psychological profile, I am genuinely hoping that it's so the Judge can decide to lock them up longer than he has in mind, but I doubt that is the case.

    As I keep saying it's not the judges decision on how long they get in total. Murder is normally a mandatory life sentence with a recommendation of when it should be passed to the parol board.In the case of minors a life sentence is not mandatory. I would hope the judge is planning on giving a life sentence and he may be taking the time to ensure that he has done everything in his power that would leave the defence with no possible grounds for appeal.
    The fact that there is no talk of appeal of the verdict is a good sign and if done correctly it will be the same for the sentencing.
    An appeal would be even worse for her parents than a delay in sentencing.

    An appeal would be great though for gentleman like mr. gageby et al......giving them an opportunity to fine tune their skills and reputations......!

    He said he decided to restrict the number of media in court based on his concern, "for the health, welfare and best interests of these children who face the most significant determination to be made in their lives".

    He said the boys are under "enormous pressure" and restricting the number of journalists is necessary to ensure that the environment in court creates the "least interference to their dignity and welfare".






    Is he for real ? Not a mention of the toll on Anas family or the trauma they live daily

    He did - another account here
    Mr Justice McDermott said that during the course of the trial and following the conviction it was clear to him from his own observations and what happened in the trial that the proceedings were taking a considerable toll on the Kriégel family, the accused boys' families and the physical and mental well being of the two boys.

    He said he had requested that no more than five members of the media be in court to maximise the least possible interference with the boys' right to dignity, health and bodily integrity.

    I acknowledge the judge has at least to be seen to be fair but I do hope he is at least making a point with the bolded bit.. There was feck all "dignity, health and bodily integrity" shown to Ana by these two scotes - may they rot in hell ...

    He's right not to let it turn into a media circus

    A victim impact statement will be given by or on behalf of Ana's family

    As there’s no identifying them anyway we’re really only going to hear the words spoken and some of the people involved reactions. Not sure having half the hacks in the country there will give us much more info.

    Maybe he is right but it galls to read that it is preserve the dignity of two murderers
    In my opinion they lost their dignity all by themselves

    It's a balancing act, a very fine one and not an easy one by any stretch

    What you're reading of course is selected and it's easy to draw the wrong conclusion or inference when read in isolation of what the judge is actually saying

    Then I would like to hear exactly what he did say . Have you read it in full ?

    Judge is trying to avoid giving any opportunity for the guilty to appeal because of the way they were treated in court. imo.

    I think you're probably right, but it's still hard to take the level of consideration that is being expressed for those two *******s.

    It think it's more to protect the families of the boys in question. The kids themselves are presumably going to be locked away for a while anyway.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    This is what the judge said , I take that to be about the two boys .Im my opinion any decision made should in the first instance be to protect the dignity of Ana Kriegel and her family .

    Ah ok then.

    As I said, for the next few decades, one would hope that they'd be in secure places anyway.

    is anyone aware of the legal precedent in Ireland for sentencing in cases like this? ie: murder committed by a child?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,409 ✭✭✭✭iamwhoiam

    We can only hope , I am not convinced they will serve long sentences to be honest .Its all about them being " children " .

    They are, by definition, still children - it's the flip-side of having laws to protect minors.

    I'm not condoning anything here, by the way - I don't see why a mandatory 20-year-minimum life-sentence shouldn't be imposed at the very least in this case - they knew what they were doing. And no release until full psychological evaluation even after that.

    Not sure mandatorily 20 years is a thing here, is it not just life. Then getting out is up to minister of justice of the day

    Everything I've heard from the judge leads me to believe he's going to be very lenient. Boy B will be out in time for college. Boy A will be out by 21.

    Again, I ask. What do you think the judge will do that will have such a major impact on the parole boards decisions in the future?
    Unless you think the judge won't even give boy B a life sentence. Is that what you are saying?
