Jury urged to leave ‘any revulsion or prejudice’ aside in ‘cold case’ murder trial of Noel Long

If the prosecution had proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt, they must convict the accused, he said. If there was any reasonable possibility consistent with innocence, then they must acquit him.

The trial has heard that a partial DNA profile generated from semen obtained from the victim’s body matched DNA found on a beanie hat taken from Mr Long in 2021. “The principal thing to bear in mind is it is much more difficult for a person to meet a case that’s an old one than one that occurs in the recent past,” he said.

Mr Justice McDermott said there was no evidence that Mr Long and the victim knew each other but that intentions can be formulated in advance or within a short period prior to a killing or at the time of killing.
