Couple who stored 550k of cannabis await appeal court ruling

A Dublin couple who were given a wholly suspended sentence for storing over half a million euro worth of cannabis in their home must wait to learn if their sentence will be increased.

The Court of Criminal Appeal this afternoon said it would reserve judgement in the case of an appeal brought by the Director of Public Prosecutions on grounds of undue leniency against the seven-year suspended sentence imposed on Keith Jervis (aged 36) and Therese Doyle (aged 35).
