Gary Haggarty deemed 'flawed' and 'dishonest' witness during murder trial

Gary Haggarty - who has spent most of this week giving evidence at a murder trial in Belfast - has been deemed a "flawed" and "dishonest" witness by the Public Prosecution Service, a court heard today .

where he implicated James Smyth as being the gunman who murdered Eamon Fox and 24-year old Gary Convie. He has also denied possessing a Sten sub machine gun and a quantity of ammunition with intent, and of being a member of the UVF. "The prosecution has assessed him as a deceptive witness, a dishonest witness with regard to his motivation in entering the SOCPA procress, a flawed witness and a witness who may well be motivated by getting revenge on his UVF associated and Special Branh handlers."
