Lawyers for Aaron Brady, who shot Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe dead in 2013, have raised a concern about publicity arising from a trial in which he is accused of perverting the course of justice.Brady was convicted in August 2020 of murdering Det Garda Donohoe, a garda acting in accordance with his duties. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 40 years to be served.
A trial in that court would be held before a jury rather than a panel of professional judges. Mr O’Higgins said he has a “concern that the publicity generated in this trial would be damaging to jurors in that case”. Brady’s trial for perverting the course of justice was adjourned to Tuesday to allow the defence time to consider additional evidence that has been served in recent days.
Brady of New Road, Crossmaglen, Co Armagh and Dean Byrne from Cabra Park, Phibsborough, Dublin, are accused of conspiring to persuade prosecution witness Daniel Cahill not to give evidence in order to pervert the course of justice between April 8th, 2020, and June 22th, 2020.
