Paul Carberry Jailed for Two Months

[sensibleboy]

FORMER Grand National-winning jockey Paul Carberry was jailed for two months on Wednesday for setting fire to a newspaper on a plane from Spain to Dublin. The 32-year-old, from Tara, Co Meath, had pleaded not guilty to a charge of engaging in threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour likely to lead to a breach of the peace on the Aer Lingus flight on October 1 last year. But at Swords District Court in Dublin on Wednesday, Judge Patrick Brady described Carberry's evidence in the case as contrived. He said he also had to consider the seriousness of the risk to passengers on a plane travelling at 12,000ft and the distress it had caused to them. "I would be failing in my duty if I didn't mark the offence," he said. Judge Brady sentenced Carberry to two months in jail and fined him €500 (£340).

Re: Paul Carberry Jailed for Two Months Seems fair to me. If it were you or I we'd expect the same sentence.
