-
We both lost our sons that day.
-
I'm sorry.
-
Maureen Murray, senior, and Maureen Murray, junior,
-
you've been found guilty of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
-
What you did, you did for the person you most love in this world.
-
That makes your crime understandable, but sadly, not excusable.
-
And society rightly demands a custodial sentence
-
for anyone involved in gun crime.
-
Nevertheless, I suspect the sentence I impose on you will mean little
-
compared with the one I impose on your grandson and son.
-
That will be your real punishment.
-
So I sentence you to twelve months in prison
