Case Information & Details

Anthony Gielty has a documented criminal history in the UK, primarily in Scotland, and has also appeared in court for recent proceedings.

Historical Criminal Record:

In 2003, at the age of 17, Anthony Gielty was convicted of attempted murder. He was sentenced to ten years in a young offenders' institution for his involvement in an attack where a man was assaulted with a samurai sword in Middleton. This incident occurred on June 16, 2003, in Bogwood Road, Mayfield, Dalkeith, and resulted in the victim, Don Essen, having three fingers partially severed. During his incarceration, Gielty was described as a violent prisoner who engaged in drug dealing and intimidated both inmates and staff. He was eventually deemed too difficult for the Scottish prison system and faced continuous solitary confinement, known as "the ghost train." However, he underwent a significant personal transformation through faith while in prison.
