A teenager who pleaded guilty last year to murdering his friend Glen Ossie Osborne has lost an appeal against the severity of his sentence of life imprisonment with a review after ten years.
James Dwyer SC for the 17-year-old, who can t be named because he is a minor, had argued before the three-judge Court of Appeal that the sentencing judge, Mr Justice Paul McDermott, did not give enough consideration to his client s remorse, his early guilty plea and his efforts at rehabilitation. Counsel said that another teenager who was found guilty of a planned and unprovoked murder and who showed no remorse, received the same sentence as his client. Mr Dwyer further submitted that the sentencing judge had placed too much emphasis on aggravating factors, including that the accused brought the knife to the scene.

The getaway driver in a bid by an organised crime gang to murder Lee Boylan in west Dublin has been jailed for ten years.
Passing sentence today, Mr Justice Michael White said this was a well-planned attack with a sophisticated degree of surveillance and was carried out at the behest of a criminal organisation , which perceived that Mr Boylan had been involved in a previous attack.
The judge said Mr Boylan was shot three times at close range and his life was saved due to a fortuitous fluke when his gunshot wounds formed an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein that stopped him from bleeding out.
