Lawyers for Quirke asked court to order his retrial for murder of DJ Bobby Ryan
In what was perceived as a significant win for Quirke in his bid to have his conviction quashed, it ruled gardaí had unlawfully searched the content of a computer from his home.His trial heard the computer was used for internet searches on the rate of decomposition of human remains and the limitations of forensic DNA.
Because its use as a portal into the digital world meant a search of its contents involved a more significant intrusion into privacy rights, the judge said any such search must be judicially authorised and gardai needed to say why such a search might be reasonably needed in the sworn information seeking the search warrant.
