Kevin Crehan was his name. He got sent down for 12 months and died in prison. Not sure if he was murdered or just died naturally, but he died.

Blasphemy laws are alive and well in your country.

That shouldn't even be a Misdemeanor, let alone a custodial...

I googled the story, he was jailed for tying bacon to the door handles and shouting racist abuse at the elderly church goers, he was a convicted football hooligan which is presumably why he got a custodial sentence. He died of a drug over dose and it was not treated as a suspicious death

Hm, i still don't think putting meat on a door and shouting at people should result in a year inside...

It's harassment and intimidation, he obviously has form for doing it to get that kind of a sentence

Yep it's probably a hate crime too which might have its own sentencing structure.

I had a look at this one, he was jailed as it was the last of a long line of convictions mostly for football violence, he was let down badly by the prison system though, he overdosed in prison


The judge said he was jailing Crehan because the offence was the latest in a long list of previous convictions, mainly for football-related violence.

I know.

I said he was convicted for putting bacon on building and died in prison which is all true. I even gave you his name so you can go look it up yourself, which you did.

The point I was trying to make was that some people are dealt with by the law and some get let off.

If this was a first or even second offence he might have got off too. . There comes a point where if people keep coming in front of judges for various things eventually a custodial sentence is the only deterrent left.
