Judgment reserved in Scissor Sister’s appeal

A DECISION in an appeal brought by Dublin woman Linda Mulhall to have her 15-year sentence reduced for the manslaughter of her mother’s boyfriend, whose body was cut up and dumped, has been put off until the new year.

Yesterday, the three-judge Court of Criminal Appeal reserved judgment in an appeal brought by the mother of four against the severity of the sentence imposed on her by Mr Justice Paul Carney in 2006.

The court, comprising of Ms Justice Fidelma Macken, presiding, sitting with Mr Justice Roderick Murphy and Mr Justice Eamonn De Valera, said they were reserving judgment.
