Criminal, 68, fears that he will die in prison

One of Cork’s oldest criminals, who was jailed yet again yesterday, said his biggest fear was that he would die in prison.

Anthony Goodman, aged 68, pleaded guilty yesterday to assaulting a woman on her way home from Cork City at 9pm on May 31.

The woman was walking past Mulligan’s pub on Parnell Place and Goodman was standing outside.
