I doubt the people who thought they were going to be murdered whilst being robbed would share your opinion. Again your point was "common criminal".

White Collar criminals are above the law. The higher up you go. They occasionally make an example out of a patsy.

Lynn is certainly a criminal, but the idea he wasn't enabled is remedial.

One of the reasons this case was delayed at the beginning is because certain institutions were shy in coming forward with information.

How many people died and were ruined financially or mentally by the tracker mortgage scandal? If you want to talk in severity of monetary terms.

When is that investigation starting?

If someone was to trawl through the last 20 years of dodgy Irish solicitor dealings, I can guarantee the results would be eye-watering, so much for pillars of the community

You'd have to think that the leniency of the sentence will be appealed now. Every extra year he gets will be a success.

Like Enoch Burke, the only reason he was in prison was his stubbornness and stupidity, and maybe a desire for drama and victimhood to prove his virtue in his own eyes. He could have not contested his extradition - or, here's the thing, not fled to Brazil in the first place.

Flee to country not known for cushy prison conditions when you're on the run from justice, then complain that you end up in a less than cushy prison when you contest your extradition.

Tough.

According to his own psychologist, Lynn lied under oath about witnessing two murders.

I wouldn't have given him a single day's credit for his time in Brazilian prison, it's entirely his own desire to evade and obstruct justice which put him there.

A Psychologist actually said "He was made pray every evening" as an excuse and something bad!

Holy God, sure most of us of a certain generation were and it did us no harm.
