GERARD HUTCH AND two co-accused will learn today the verdict in the Special Criminal Court trial for the murder of David Byrne in a Dublin hotel.
Byrne, from Crumlin, was shot dead at the hotel in Whitehall, Dublin 9 after five men, three disguised as armed gardaí in tactical clothing and carrying AK-47 assault rifles, stormed the building during the attack, which was hosting a boxing weigh-in at the time. The trial heard evidence from former Sinn Féin Councillor Jonathan Dowdall along with audio taken from a listening device inside a vehicle as Hutch and Dowdall allegedly travelled to Northern Ireland to meet Republican paramilitary contacts.
Murphy said there was “no denial or pushback” from Hutch in the audio against implications that he was centrally involved in the Regency attack.However, Hutch’s barrister senior counsel Brendan Grehan argued in his closing address that the prosecution case against his client stands or falls on whether the Special Criminal Court can believe the evidence of the “proven and admitted liar and perjurer” Jonathan Dowdall.
He's had more lives than a cat whether its with his own life or the judiciary system.
