Quote of the week....
(from chancer of the week........)
"I don't have a book of evidence in my back pocket, I have to seek an extension of time."
Seamus Ruane, Inspector in the Disctrict Court in reply to Ted McCarthy Solicitor.
The Collopy Brothers (Kieran and Damien) who are accused of tresspassing and threatening to kill an individual April last, will stand trial at Limerick Circuit Court following directions from the DPP. They are also facing an additional charge of demanding money from the same individual. The defendants pleaded innocent to the additional charge.
Their Solicitor Ted McCarthy put in an objection to a Garda application for additional time while the book of evidence was being prepared. He maintained that the statutory period of 42 days had elapsed since the brothers were charged and wanted O'Donnell to strike out the charges as they were all connected.
"The delay is unreasonable," he said.O'Donnell refused Ted McCarthy's application and the case was adjourned until the 8th of July.
There is no evidence that the tongue is connected to the brain.....
ah Ruane is a prize wally sometimes. I love to stick my head in and have a gander and listen to some of the cases heard down there. I actually heard him say during the course of one case, that it's acceptable to wave a warrant at someone from a distance,even though it may be out of date and legally incorrect (not those exact words of course, but along those lines!). He insinuated that that doing so made it above board and legal, and what's more disturbing is that Tomo accepted it without batting an eyelid!probaby because he was the Judge that signed the dodgy warrant in the first instance.
ReplyDeleteRuane would want to buck up now and stop making excuses in relation to the book of evidence and get his arse in gear before they make a pigs arse of that case.
theyre all up each others bum holes down in the court, inspectors, judges, solicitors, gardas, covering for one another.
