I think they realized that they couldn't inflict such pain on their own loved ones.

And she talked about like, you know, one day, you know, her dad was supposed to be the man who was going to walk her down the aisle.

and she went on to talk about how he worked day and night that he was a grafter he had you know he worked two jobs and that while some people chose or you know had made the choice to make easy money yeah and selling drugs that he had worked all his life that he was a very kind man he'd give you the clothes off his back if he thought he needed it

And there were sentences of like six and a half years and nine years.

And in the case of Padraig Keating, who they made a point of saying very much kind of on an equal level to Sean McGovern at the time, he got 11 years for his part in the attempt to kill Mago Gately.
