Amazing that the Prosecution can appeal (though I think there are some suggestions that this could soon be a possibility in this country?), and get a heavy sentence like this. The whole trial seems to have been a joke, with the whole case depending on two "FARC deserters" who contradicted each other. Didn't Jim O'Keeffe TD prove that he was with Connolly at the time Connolly was supposed to be doing this training?
Can't say I blame them if they have gone on the run, but that will probably make it even worse for them, (if thats possible).
