Dean and Jason Bradley, of Liscarne Gardens, were sentenced to life imprisonment in 2018 for the murder of Neil Reilly (36)
The judges did not agree with the applicants that a further appeal was needed so the court could rule on a form of interviewing technique and to expand the categories of evidence that need a judge’s warning to the jury. There was “nothing” in the grounds of appeal that would justify a further appeal and the interests of justice are not engaged, said Mr Justice Peter Charleton, Mr Justice Séamus Woulfe and Mr Justice Maurice Collins.
Dean and Jason Bradley were tried along with their father, Paul Bradley, and another brother, Ryan Bradley. Paul Bradley was acquitted by the jury. Ryan Bradley was acquitted by direction of the trial judge but pleaded guilty to an offence of impeding the murder investigation. He was ultimately given a fully suspended five-year prison sentence.
The jury at the Central Criminal Court trial heard Jason Bradley owed Mr Reilly more than €9,000 for drugs. Mr Reilly fired two shots at their house in the early hours of the morning of January 18th, 2017. Eyewitnesses told the jury there was a confrontation between the four members of the Bradley family and the deceased in a housing estate in Lucan, which resulted in Jason Bradley delivering chopping blows to Mr Reilly before Dean Bradley drove a BMW over him.
Two witnesses saw him drive over Mr Reilly twice, while another said she saw the car drive over him, reverse over him and drive over him again.
