Irish serial burglar Wayne O'Callaghan, with 68 prior convictions, was resentenced to 5 years for breaking into occupied homes; original sentence deemed too lenient.
Serial burglar Wayne O'Callaghan, with 68 prior convictions, was resentenced to five years in prison by the Irish Court of Appeal for breaking into two homes while occupants were present. The original sentence was deemed too lenient as O'Callaghan entered a student's bedroom while she slept and stole her car keys. The court found an appropriate headline sentence for burglary to be seven years, reduced to five years considering his early guilty plea and other mitigating factors.
