Anthony Buck serving life sentence over 1996 killing and robbery of David Nugent (22) in Clonmel

A Co Tipperary man who was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of murder and robbery more than 20 years ago has lost his Supreme Court attempt to have his case considered a miscarriage of justice.

A jury of six women and six men found Buck guilty of the murder charge by a majority verdict of 11 to one. The jury also found Buck guilty of the robbery of cash and goods worth IR£825 from Mr Nugent on the same dates. The five judge Supreme Court, in a judgement delivered electronically by Mr Justice Peter Charleton on Friday, turned down Buck’s application to appeal a decision of the Court of Appeal dismissing his application to claim a miscarriage of justice under the Criminal Procedure Act 1993.
