Deeply religious burglar

I think this must be the first time I have ever seen CONSECUTIVE mentioned in a prison sentence. Good on ya judge.

I really hate when solicitors bring up this thing about having a tough childhood, lots of people had a difficult time of it growing up and have gone on to be hardworking decent members of society.

219 convictions at 31 years of age is an absolute disgrace, she obviously has no interest in turning her life around.

Deeply Religious. Ffs is there actually anyone who believes this bull.

Yea we really need to clamp down on these scum bags on minimum wage and their shiìtty tips

Ah, yeah... I see. A 'deeply religious' area.

They like caravan holidays too.

Unfortunately its what you c prove not wat you know ,

as his solicitor Aoife McNicholl was no doubt would have been quick to point out , just 41 previous in any case , barely a criminal by Irish judicial standards

Cause both charges carry the same penalty and handling is easier to prove in court.

probably addiction issues or mental health hope she gets the help she needs

Those who have killed a burglar in their home should get some class of a MBE type award from Michael D, it should be a yearly event. If the burglar has more than 10 previous convictions the award should include a brand new Toyota Yaris for services to people who wish to live peacefully in their home.

To play devil's advocate here, she likely genuinely believes that she is praying for the victims and that in some ways is helping, because "God" will provide for the people that she has stolen from. People with substance abuse problems often feel like passengers in their own bodies, the petty crimes they carry out to feed the habit being something that they're being forced to do by their illness. It's doesn't excuse it, but from what we know about addiction it makes some sense.

As a traveller she'd have a strong indoctrination and thus the belief that wishing really hard for something can work.

Aside from this, it goes to show why we need to decouple this notion that someone having religion or praying regularly in any way makes them a better or more contrite person. "Having a strong faith" is synonymous with "Tries to do good all the time", but history tells us this is nonsense. Some of the worst crimes have been carried out by the most devout.

Hope the next judge throws the book bible at her
