Gilligan gets 8 more months
After 48 District Court appearances and a High Court appeal, the 59-year-old convicted criminal was given an eight-month consecutive sentence for possessing a Nokia mobile phone at his cell on July 30, 2008.
Prison officers organised an early morning search of Gilligan’s cell after an officer heard a late-night conversation in the cell on July 29, 2008. The phone was found along with a mobile phone charger, a number of pills, a syringe bar and two pairs of women’s underwear.
