Special Criminal Court to deliver Hutch judgement in April

Electrified doorhandles, pepper-spray wing mirrors and bulletproof glass: ‘Soccer mom car’ turns lethal

Sean Gillane SC, prosecuting, said in his opening address that “an integral part of the operation” which led to Mr Byrne’s death was the means by which the tactical team escaped, which was central to the case of Mr Bonney and Mr Murphy. Closing the defence case for Mr Bonney on Thursday, John Fitzgerald SC said he would be suggesting to the court that there are a number of holes in the prosecution’s case.

He said deviations and absences noted in the path of the jeep on the day “are more consistent with the case made by Jason Bonney” that there was a changeover of drivers at Newbrook Avenue. Mr Condon also said that to prove the case of facilitating a criminal organisation, the prosecution has to prove the existence of the criminal organisation and that Mr Murphy had knowledge of it.
