Joe O'Reilly lost appeal today

Just saw it on the news there now. He lost on all 5 (?) grounds - was one that the technical stuff might not be admissable as evidence ?

Is this a big case for Irish law today ?

O'Reilly appeal dismissed - RTE

Good. He murdered his wife. The fucker.

You can only really appeal your conviction on technicalities unless there is new evidence discovered which was not available at your trial. All his appeals were based on the admissability of evidence.

I agree with EVM.

He was challenging admissability of phone records and emails, the very evidence that shafted him.

The phone records placed him at the scene, or within a few km of the scene, when he was supposed to be in Clontarf. The email records provided motive.

Thankfully, that evidence was properly warranted, collected, analysed and presented at court. The jury accepted and now the Court of appeal have also.

May he rot in jail.
