“It’s been very stressful for everybody. It’s like Ground Zero – I don’t care to think about it, but it’s always going to be there.”
An Irish citizen who was booted out of the US and extradited to Britain over a 41-year-old pub brawl said the ordeal was a “nightmare”.
Five people were charged, including Mr McGrath, who fled to Ireland to avoid prosecution, believing he was being “set up” and falsely accused because of his Irish heritage. Mr McGrath believed the matter of his charge had long been forgotten as authorities had made no effort to contact him and he had travelled between the US and the UK several times with no problems.
