TWO men accused of threatening to slit the throat of Melbourne gangland widow Judy Moran have been jailed.

Mrs Moran had earlier told the Melbourne Magistrates' Court two men screamed abuse at her, called her a dog, accused her of being a police informer and said they would slit her throat. The incident happened at the Brunswick Club in June last year. Her husband, Lewis Moran, 58, was shot dead in the club in March, 2004.

Rodney Robinson, 53, of Epping, and Robert Gillick, 35, of Greensborough, both pleaded not guilty to charges, including making threats to kill.

Magistrate Duncan Reynolds dismissed the charge of making threats to kill, however found the men guilty of using threatening words.

He sentenced Robinson to two months' prison and Gillick to one month in jail, saying that was the only appropriate sentence in both cases.

Mr Reynolds said the men's behaviour that night caused disquiet to numerous patrons at the club.

He said he took into account both men had significant criminal pasts, but had made changes in their lives to put this behind them.

Robinson and Gillick have indicated they will lodge an appeal.

    You'd have thought Judy Moran would have been keeping to herself, considering that all her immediate family has been wiped out

    WTF was she doing in the Brunswick club?

    Does anyone have anymore information/photos of Rodney "puddin" robinson??? I found it hard to fathom how this guy affected so many family's and remain untouched and out of the public eye (for the most part) I have heard some stories about a couple of things this guy did and aside being an alleged police informant, he has some how managed to commit acts even lower than that, does anyone have anymore information about this guy? What was his go? What made him into "pudin"? Not one person has a good word to say about him, but why was he so untouchable?
