一名都柏林男子 2023 年因向邻居吐口水而被定罪，在他支付了 500 欧元的悔恨后被推翻，法院敦促双方保持分开。 A Dublin man’s 2023 conviction for spitting on a neighbor was overturned after he paid €500 in remorse, with the court urging both parties to stay apart.

一个叫Anthony Finnegan(46岁)的都柏林男子在因从二楼窗户向邻居吐口水而上诉300欧元罚款后,他被推翻了2023年的殴打罪。 A Dublin man, Anthony Finnegan, 46, had his 2023 assault conviction overturned after appealing his €300 fine for spitting on his neighbor from a second-floor window. 受害者说,该行为造成了严重的情绪痛苦、哮喘袭击和失去安全感。 The victim said the act caused severe emotional distress, asthma attacks, and a loss of security. Finnegan既认罪,又没有前科,他争辩说,定罪会损害他作为三个孩子的父亲的生命。 Finnegan, who pleaded guilty and has no prior record, argued the conviction would harm his life as a father of three. 上诉法院承认这一行为是贬低人格的,但接受了芬尼根500欧元的付款作为悔恨的表示,受害者接受了这一表示。 The appeals court acknowledged the act was demeaning but accepted a €500 payment from Finnegan as a gesture of remorse, which the victim accepted. 根据这项协议,法院推翻了定罪。 With that agreement, the court quashed the conviction.
