Michael Scott, who received a six-year term for manslaughter by gross negligence, was involved in land dispute with Chrissie Treacy (76)
Michael Scott is appealing the severity of his six-year sentence for manslaughter by gross negligence after killing his aunt, Chrissie Treacy, with an agricultural teleporter in Co Galway. Scott's lawyers argue the sentence is too high, given his prior blameless life and the circumstances of the incident, while the prosecution contends the judge was already generous in reducing the initial headline sentence. The incident stemmed from a land dispute between Scott and his aunt.
