Summary
A 46-year-old Ennis carpenter, Alan Mounsey, was found guilty by a jury of assault causing harm and aggravated burglary after brutally attacking Aaron Moloney with a claw hammer in front of his two young daughters. The jury deliberated for just over three hours before reaching a unanimous verdict. Mounsey surrendered his bail and was remanded into custody to await sentencing in July, following a trial where the prosecution detailed Mounsey’s violent assault — which left Moloney with broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a fractured kneecap — and his subsequent act of forcing Moloney to apologize on video before erasing the evidence. The defense argued Mounsey acted in self-defense after receiving threats against his partner and unborn child, but the prosecution called the beating “horrendous” and unprovoked. Sentencing is set for July 31st. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
