A. In the mid 80s and again in the 90s Tony Felloni was one of the biggest and most ruthless heroin dealers in Dublin's north inner city. He was unique in that he tried to control every aspect of the business. In the morning he could be directly involved in the importation of hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of the drug while in the evening he was personally selling 10 and 20 bags to desperately sick junkies at the door of his parents' Corporation flat. The man operated both at the very top and the very bottom of the Dublin heroin market and it ultimately precipitated his downfall. At last, in 1996, the law caught up with him: he is currently serving ... years, the longest drugs sentence ever handed down in an Irish court.

C.Brenda Wiley, a young girl, killed her mother Bonnie, 40, and her brother Keith, 14. Furthermore, she had planned to kill her father as well. At the trial, her lawyer claimed she was either suffering from temporary insanity or diminished capacity when she killed. Two psychologists testified for the defence, saying she had a "severe depressive disorder" that prevented her from acting "knowingly or purposefully". The court heard how Brenda's problems with her parents intensified when she fell in love with an 18-year-old boy. Brenda's boyfriend testified that four days before the killings she rang him up begging him to help murder her parents. He said, "No way". Brenda was found guilty and sentenced to ... in prison, without a chance of parole for 30 years.
