Donaghy Gets 3 More Years for Threatening Jurors | Glasgow News
Description
Robert Donaghy, already convicted of attempted murder, just got three more years behind bars after a courtroom outburst where he pointed at jurors, accused one of laughing, and threatened to stab them. The incident, which occurred right after his verdict in Glasgow, led to a separate trial for the threat — which he ultimately pleaded guilty to, citing “overspilled emotion” and surprise at the original sentence. The guilty plea spared jurors and staff from testifying. His original nine-and-a-half-year sentence now includes this additional term, to begin after his first sentence ends. The judge emphasized that threatening jurors undermines the very foundation of justice.
