Man jailed over Moran killing 'stupid', says judge | The Australian

Man jailed over Moran killing 'stupid', says judge The Australian: "MAN involved in the shooting of Desmond 'Tuppence' Moran could walk from jail in less than a year, after a judge found he had tried to make amends for his act of 'genuine stupidity'. Michael Sam Farrugia, 46, has agreed to give evidence next year at the trial of others accused of the murder, including Des Moran's sister-in-law Judy.
Victorian Supreme Court judge Lex Lasry today sentenced him to four years in jail, with parole possible after two years.
He has already spent over a year in custody.
Justice Lasry said Farrugia deserved a substantial discount on his jail term for his cooperation with police and for pleading guilty to a manslaughter charge.
“Although there is minor offending in your past it is of no real significance for these purposes,” Justice Lasry said. “In the trial of your three accomplices, the Crown will place substantial weight on your evidence."
