Convicted garda killer Aaron Brady has lost his appeal against his conviction for the capital murder of a garda.
Convicted garda killer Aaron Brady has lost his appeal on all grounds against his conviction for the capital murder of a garda.
He was arrested for the capital murder when he arrived in the country, tried at the Central Criminal Court and convicted by a jury on a majority verdict.The Court of Appeal ruled that the trial judge had not erred in directing the trial to proceed during the Covid pandemic and had been clearly concerned about the"unprecedented public health crisis" and its impact on Brady's right to a fair trial.
The Court of Appeal did not find an error in the trial court's refusal to discharge the jury because of the cross examination of Brady's former solicitor. CCTV showed that the raiders were dropped off at a laneway behind the credit union about 40 minutes ahead of the raid.Two phones belonging to Brady and phones belonging to two other suspects were active until about one hour before the robbery when they went completely silent.
