A convicted garda killer has admitted perverting the course of justice during his murder trial by playing the recording of a witness being interviewed by gardaí.
The 33-year-old admitted perverting the course of justice by recording the playing of a video of a witness, Ronan Flynn, being interviewed by gardaí on a date unknown between 20 February 2020 and 7 May 2020.The video was later posted on social media accusing Mr Flynn of"touting" and calling him a"rat".
Brady was convicted of the capital murder and sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 40 years.He did not want the fact that he had pleaded guilty to the charge reported or the details of the evidence in the case because he is appealing his murder conviction. Mr Staines said there were already significant amounts of material about Brady and background to the case and charges already in the public domain, reported by legitimate and responsible news organisations.
That publication, he said, took place in conjunction with vitriolic commentary on witnesses and in particular on the two witnesses in this case.
