54 岁的肯尼思·凯利 （Kenneth Kelly） 正在对他因威胁一名男子 1,000 欧元的毒品债务而被判处六年监禁的判决提出上诉，他认为法官不恰当地将受害者的自杀归咎于他，尽管死者已知存在心理健康问题并且缺乏证据证明因果关系。 Kenneth Kelly, 54, is appealing his six-year prison sentence for threatening a man over a €1,000 drug debt, arguing the judge improperly blamed him for the victim’s suicide despite the deceased’s known mental health issues and lack of evidence proving causation. 上诉法院认为,Kelly先前有12人被定罪,对持械抢劫和持有火器认罪,最初被判处8年徒刑,后被减刑2年。 The Court of Appeal heard that Kelly, who has 12 prior convictions and pleaded guilty to armed robbery and firearm possession, faced an initial eight-year sentence, reduced by two years. 辩护律师声称,法官没有考虑缓刑报告,过分强调受害者情感影响陈述,而检察官坚持维持这一判决,反映了威胁的严重性和持久性。 Defence lawyers claimed the judge failed to consider a probation report and overemphasized emotional victim impact statements, while prosecutors maintained the sentence reflected the severity and persistence of the threats. 上诉的重点是法官的推理是否通过指派自杀的直接责任而越过法律界限。 The appeal focuses on whether the judge’s reasoning crossed legal boundaries by assigning direct responsibility for the suicide. 预计将于2025年11月作出决定。 A decision is expected in November 2025.
