Should courts be able to impose extra jail time on people for being time-wasting cunts?
Take the case of David Bourke who stabbed his wife three times, in front of their children, because she wanted a divorce.
After stabbing her three times, in front of their children, he then phone the emergency services, said he’d tried to kill his wife by stabbing her and then showed the Gardai the knife he’d used.
The children gave evidence that their father stabbed their mother. One of them said “Dad tried put it [the knife] into mummy’s tummy or head or something. I told dad not to kill my mum”.
Cut and fucking dried, you’d have thought.
At the Central Criminal Court yesterday Mr Bourke ‘denied murder’.
What?
He admitted trying to kill her, his children saw him stab their mother, he gave the Gardai the weapon with which he killed her and he’s denying murder?
Cunt. It’s all legal bollocks no doubt, designed to try and minimise his sentence. Will he attempt temporary insanity because his wife was seeing another man? Who gives a fuck? Jealousy is not insanity.
This is a man who would deny his own children their mother because he could not allow her to live her life. Because he felt like she was his property. If he couldn’t have her then nobody else could. Timeless and depressing stuff. His not-guilty plea is an insult to the system and to his children.
Honestly, when this fucker is found guilty they should add a few years on for being such a time-wasting, money-wasting prick.
I know everybody is entitled to a defense, but seriously, what solicitor in their right mind would defend some piece of shit like this fella?
Yeah – it’s likely he’s angling for manslaughter or diminished responsibility.
As irritating as that is, given the sort of fuckers some guards can be, I’d rather be assumed innocent until proven guilty.
And is there something in the water, or is uxoricide (aka wife murdering bastardry) the new black in this country?
I bet he’s going to use one of them fancy philosophical reasons, like, “There are no laws in the universe, only reactions caused by variables”.
Or that old chestnut, “God told me to do it”.
If he is guilty of being slightly less than the full shilling should that make his life sentence any less than if he is just a psychopath? Call it what you like, just put him away for life with an arse-stretcher for a cell mate. No more time-wasting…
Give him the benefit of doubt,its quite possible to pick up a knife in the kitchen and slip and accidentally stick the knife in her tummy and head while saying die you fucking dirty fucking whoreface cunt directed to the insect on the floor he just slipped on,it was all a big mistake your honour now can i please go home,this ordeal has been too much for me.
I’m sure that it happens without m’lud specifying that he has added a few years because the defendant has fucked around.
i’m sure they take a few years off if you plead guilty. but they don’t add anything for trying to avoid the conviction.
i think.
The old ‘crime passionel’ crime-of-passion plea is still accepted in France and Italy, I think. He may have been willing to plead guilty to manslaughter but not to murder. I think premeditation or planning has to be proven in murder cases.
I really want to start this comment with “I’m not a racist but…”
You are spot on in your assertion of the killing as “If I can’t have you, no-one can”
Honestly, what kind of possessive, egomaniac thinks that denying a children both parents (after he inevitably goes down for this) can make a situation better.
…waits for someone to insert a Joe O’Reilly “but for the grave of God” type defence
freudian slip, grave = grace.
What’s happening to the poor sprogs anyway? I mean, who’s taking care of them? Shit, they didn’t deserve any of this crap.
What ever ye do lads dont mention ANYTHING about ANYONE possibly getting their Port Tunnel widened in prison.. I got a whole load of hassle for that a while back….
Lord help us – just saw this
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7960997.stm
Gardai are investigating??? Well at least we know they are keeping the country safe..jesus wept..
Doh! He’s going for (involuntary) manslaughter – no premeditation. He’ll get five to seven years and be out in four to five. Do any of you folks really think the law is about justice? Let’s face it, those of us who log on to Twenty everyday are the jaundice-eyed, cynical cunts of Irish society. Don’t disappoint me now …
Think about it Fill – Hordes of men and women, their passions inflamed, could have gone on the rampage. God knows what it could have done to respectable ladies like Jo or JJ. Nobody would have been safe. Twenty, mooching along on his Honda 50, minding his own business, dragged into a back alley and rogered senseless, possibly even up the back alley!
and thats not even mentioning Johnny5.. Maybe you’re right.. a close call there..
I’ve e mailed Fachtna Murphy thanking him for their vigilance and would urge all right thinking Irish men and women to do the same. We don’t need this sort of thing onour sacred Emer Uld isle – saints and scholars, that’s the answer to all this gloom and doom. And no foreigners – they’ll have to go.
It’s a funny one alright. I can’t believe that his solicitor is happy with it.
Hang on. Yes I can. His solicitor gets more money for the longer the trial goes on…
That’s the prob. Unless of course he has instructed his solicitor and not followed advice.
It’s a weird one from any angle in my opinion.
poor kids, poor wife.
It’s the same as that other cunt in Galway who raped, robbed and killed that young Swiss girl. Denied everything initially, then admitted robbing her, then admitted having sex with her and was finally convicted of murder. Cunts like that should that should be shot/hanged/castrated – take your pick.
Don’t you all think this killing of women is getting a bit too common place???
Especially wives being killed by so-called husbands????
I don’t hear any politicians offering or suggesting to address this criminal behaviour.
I suppose there’s no money it!!!
Keys through the letterbox and start a new life. Why waste two lives.

Yeah it’s common alright. If only they’d know what they’re told.

hehe.. made a balls of that Peadar..
Epic Fail.
“First of all kill all the lawyers.” This man might not have had the heart or the confidence or the wits about him to plead not guilty without his lawyer trying to extend the thing and bump up his or her fee.
Time-wasters should absolutely be punished at sentencing time. An extra month for ever hour of court-time and money wasted trying to save the miserable hide of someone who’s clearly guilty.
Balls!
Well they say alcohol kills the brain cells.
I blame Bernard Dunne
Do you remember Francie Barratt the traveller Boxer?
42 consecutive knock out’s.. the smell of piss off him..
Has he gone back to being just a traveller now?

Has he gone back to being just a traveller now?
Yeah. Still does a bit of boxing in his spare time.
Jeez, y’all are a happy bunch of cunts again today.
“Time-wasters should absolutely be punished at sentencing time.”
Agreed for the guilty, but what about the DPP wastefully pursuing a murder conviction when the evidence might not support it?
Even the ones they do manage to get convictions for?
Wheres contrary Hugh when you need him?
Hopefully gettin his port tunnel widened in a crowded prison shower…
..OH!
Don’t be surprised to hear that when he’s released on good behavior after five years to find that there’s a dozen women who’ve been writing to him waiting to marry the shit.
Nice turn of phrase but it doesnt disguise your callow misanthropy, if Hugh was here he`d do you again just like he did you good the last time
“Even the ones they do manage to get convictions for?”
Well then it’s guilty as charged. I imagine the charge is often a negotiation, taking the odds into account. There are cases where the accused have pleaded guilty to the lesser charge and this has secured a conviction. And am I right in thinking that a jury can find a defendant guilty of manslaughter where they find the charge of murder unproven?

Last time,all he did was bore me with his superiority complex..
Maybe he was complex as you say, but he had a shrewd grasp of the finer points of the liberal values of the twentieth century, especially where they concerned the laws of western Europe, values that you arrogant cyber vigilanties would be best served by reading up on.

Crime is just a left handed form of human endeavour.
Now shut the fuck up or I’ll knock de bollix out of ye..

Don’t know about that. We’d need a legal expert.

I didn’t say he was Complex,I said he had a superiority complex.2 completely different things.
Jasus your easily fuckin` pulled in, as I said whoever the cunt was he certainly did ye the last time.
good for him.
Poor kids having to put up with the like of that evil so and so for a father. I hope they have decent family to help them live with the unbelieveable trauma of their mothers death. The fecking hypocritical b*****d for pleading not guilty. They should charge the solicitor who advised that plea with chronic arseholeness and give him ten years in jail and fine the law society for having such a gobshite on their books in the first place…..W****rs
Go and read some criminal law you stupid fuck, stop wearing your ignorance like a badge.
