So McGovern was initially charged with the murder of Noel Duck Egg Kerwin and with charges relating to directing a criminal organisation.

He came back, went into the prison system.

There was a couple of mentions.

It was suggested at one point that by his own lawyers that a trial date might not necessarily be needed because in the background he has been, or his lawyers, his representatives have been

you know, lobbying and dealing with the DPP until eventually he came to court and he pleaded guilty not to murder.

The murder charge was dropped.

He pleaded guilty to directing a criminal organization.

Yeah.

A criminal organization that conducted or was oversaw, in particular, the attempted murder of James Magogately.

It's not totally as simple as that, that he folded like a pack of cards.

The murder charge was dropped.

The murder charge in this country has a mandatory life sentence, which nobody is essentially going to

people are going to fight usually that I mean there's very very few incidents where somebody has pleaded guilty to murder so he is given a deal and the deal is of value to him because there will be light at the end of a tunnel for him he will be expected to get I'm going to

I'm going to say he's going to be looking at 16 to 18 years.

I think maybe the base sentence would be 20 and then there'll be some mitigating factors taken in.

But nonetheless, it's a very lengthy sentence for a guy of his age.

He's looking at doing at least a decade and a half, if not two decades behind bars.

But that's better than life.

So the phone, and during the sentence hearing, it is expected that quite a bit of the evidence will come out that the kids state we're going to put forward at trial, should a trial have happened.

The phone that is relevant to him is a phone called Knife.
