## Resource

A man with 167 prior convictions, Brian O’Connor, pleaded guilty to a brutal car theft attack in Dublin where he stabbed a 55-year-old man five times with a screwdriver while a accomplice wielded a Stanley knife—forcing the victim to jump into the backseat as the car sped off, crashing into other vehicles. Despite the horrific assault, the victim survived without surgery. O’Connor, who’s been in custody since the attack, is reportedly seeking rehabilitation and even apologized in writing, though his defense cites a troubled past with addiction. Sentencing is postponed until November to review a probation report.
