Look at the remarks of the whore Irish lawyer: it’s America’s fault because this robber was able to get a gun.
The “robber is nuts” defense stinks. He knew enough to get a driver’s license. He knew enough to get a gun. He was heavily in debt.
I don’t know why the corrupt Maine DMV official was not fired forthwith. And why will the judge permit this thug to serve part of his sentence in Ireland, an essentially lawless place where NO ONE serves 10 years in prison? If he goes there, he’ll be out in a year. Guaranteed.

"Clarke was €20,500 in debt and behind in his rent when he bought a gun and ammunition"

This points away from the schitzo defense - he robbed because he needed money
