QuoteA post mortem examination is being carried out on the body of a man who was found dead in the Dooradoyle area of Limerick city early this morning.

Gardaí believe the man may have been a victim of mistaken identity.

Gardaí responded to a 999 call after local people heard a number of shots in the Kilteragh housing estate shortly after 1.30am.

Following a search of the estate, they discovered the body of a man at the rear of a house in the Clonmore area.

It is understood he had been shot.

A wide area around the scene where the body was found was sealed off and a technical team as well as the State Pathologist Dr Marie Cassidy were called in to assist with the investigation.

Gardaí have established that the victim had visited friends in the estate to watch the Ireland-Canada rugby match and was on his way home when he was shot.

Not sure if all the details have been released yet but a friend of mine is the ERU down there and told me this morning.

absolute scumbags, they respect nothing. if ever the law gets serious with these fockers there might be some hope. imaging if they catch these guys and convict them of murder (no easy trick in ireland) they wont spend 10 years in the slammer! unreal. a chain gang is too good for them

The victims are the only ones that keep suffering, take a life and get convicted they should do life!!!

I don't understand how murder does not result in life behind bars. This craic of getting 10 or 14 years is a joke.

Personally, I blame smart-arse lawyers for getting scumbags off with crimes such as this.

How do you figure this?

Call it experience or call it what you will. I think that if you look at the way scumbags are sentenced that the sentencing reports their briefs have introduced always plays a part in determining how long they will spend in jail.

Actually, just call it experience, bitter experience.

What if the person is innocent?
I think there are enough instances of innocent people being blamed for crimes they didnt commit.
How would you rectify this?
I know, if the cops/garda suspect someone, lock them up, fcuk the trial

I think the law/judges needs to be looked at before blaming the lawyers

ludermor · November 10, 2008, 10:10:28 AM

So should there be a group of stupid lawyers to represent the scumbags?
