Mr Martin

The unnamed Defence Barrister represented Maria Connor in court in December 2016 when she was due for sentencing having been found guilty of helping an illegal immigrant Pablo Duarte stay in the country through the means of a fraudulent marriage

The Barrister pleaded in mitigation, saying that Maria had learned her lesson and he asked for leniency, in view of the circumstances of the case and her previous good conduct. Agreeing with the latter point, the Judge nevertheless handed her a twelve-month custodial sentence.
