Former judge jailed for deception of friend
Heather Perrin, aged 61, was sentenced yesterday after an eight-day trial which heard that she tricked her 83-year-old victim into bequeathing half his estate, worth about €1m, to her two children.
Last week’s verdict marked the first time in the history of the State that a judge has been found guilty of a serious crime. Perrin offered her resignation to the President on Monday.
