2022年1月29日, 一名40岁的都柏林男子因在一场醉酒斗殴中刺伤他童年朋友九次而被判处二年零三个月监禁。 A 40-year-old Dublin man was sentenced to two years and three months in prison for stabbing his childhood friend nine times during a drunken fight that began as a consensual "mess fight" at his home on January 29, 2022. 录像证据显示受害人在攻击者Frank Kelly最初用威士忌瓶击中他后用刀“停止”36次。 Video evidence showed the victim pleading "stop" 36 times as the attacker, Frank Kelly, used a knife after initially striking him with a whiskey bottle. 虽然Kelly声称自卫,但法院认定录音与这一说法相矛盾。 Though Kelly claimed self-defense, the court found the recording contradicted that claim. 受害人受了表面伤,并因可能穿刺肺部而接受治疗,此后已康复。 The victim, who suffered superficial wounds and was treated for a possible punctured lung, has since recovered. 马丁·诺兰法官强调,使用一把刀将事件变成了严重的攻击,尽管Kelly认罪、服过兵役和没有犯罪前科,但仍需要予以拘留。 Judge Martin Nolan emphasized that the use of a knife transformed the incident into a serious assault, warranting custody despite Kelly’s guilty plea, military service, and lack of prior criminal history.
