Pensioner said he stabbed neighbour over harassment
Summary
Trevor Green, 72, was sentenced at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for assault causing harm. Green pleaded guilty to stabbing Stephen Corr near their home in Ballyfermot, Dublin, on August 16, 2020. The accused alleged that he lost his temper after years of harassment by Mr. Corr, who allegedly intimidated Green's elderly partner. Green's partner testified that Mr. Corr was intimidating and that the harassment began in 2007. Detective Garda Michael McNulty noted that Mr. Corr was considered a general nuisance to local residents. Judge Elma Sheahan accepted that the victim had been shouting and intimidating the defendant's partner for many years, stating that Green had come to the end of his tether. The judge acknowledged the seriousness of the offence but noted it was out of character for Green, citing his good character, lack of prior offending, remorse, and cooperation with gardaí. She suspended a prison sentence of 16 months on the condition that Green keep the peace and be of good behaviour for that period. Green had previously been remanded on bail following his guilty plea last October.
