I sincerely hope she appeals that. The law can be an ass at times or at least some of the people who administer it.

If you have any experience of the NI Justice system the sentence is not surprising. The sentence is meant to reflect the fact that she pleaded not guilty. The judge in question takes no prisoners and would never give anyone, regardless of their circumstances a break. This is both my own experience and the observations of a barrister that appears regularly in his court.
