    The judge should have stated that any appeals would result in the loss of right to anonymity..

    What a stupid suggestion.

    What a stupid suggestion.

    You will find such things are the norm when it comes to legal matters in threads on emotional subjects.

    I hope it gets increased


    Hes appealing the conviction and not the sentence so cant get it increased. he is more than entitled to appeal it too. I am surprised it took so long to be honest. Was very surprised he was found guilty in the first place.

    Lol.

    Have you read anything about the case? Or are you one of those ‘there’s no physical evidence’ types?

    He’s entitled to appeal, just he’s being extremely naive.

    I'd imagine that his legal counsel has access to ALL the evidence (as opposed to what's been reported in the media), and on that basis thinks that an appeal has a chance of succeeding.


    Boy B's naivety or otherwise has very little to do with it.

    Why can't this scum (Boy A and Boy B) be named and shamed?

    Just like Joe O’Reilly’s counsel and that didn’t do him much good.

    His naivety has a lot to do with it. He’s guilty and he still thinks he can get away with it.

    they are children. Murdering children but still children.

    If his legal counsel told him to shut up? and he listened to them, he'd be home now looking forward to his turkey on Christmas Day.

    But no, he was smarter than his legal counsel. smarter than the jury & smarter than the judge (not). The state had no real evidence against him, he willingly supplied it all to them, thankfully.

    What did he supply or say off the script?

    Plenty of people know their names and have seen their photos.

    Their families would be targeted by vigilantes if they were publicly named and shamed.

    He placed himself at the scene, and told them Boy A said he wanted to kill her.

    All this after initially saying he left her at the park.

    If appeal is allowed does that mean a complete retrial of Boy B. Does he have to give new evidence as grounds for appeal?8

    An appeal is not a re-trial.

    Boy B has appealed the guilty verdict. I believe that to do so there has to be specific grounds eg judge giving wrong advice to jury, new evidence, etc. If the grounds are accepted then the appeal can go forward. What happens then?

    Either way I’d say this thread will get locked

    I'm not sure but it may be reviewed by a panel of judges?

    Or possibly go to a re-trial. More fun for Ana's suffering parents - he really is a piece of crap. Of course his lawyers don't really care whether he wins or not as either way, they'll be paid their fees.

    Can’t go a retrial just because they didn’t like the initial verdict, has to be because there was something wrong with how the first trial was carried out . Like evidence allowed that should not have been or the judges direction.

    I know that. Doesn't change what I wrote, i.e. that one possible outcome of the appeal would be a re-trial!

    Or new evidence. Which he can introduce whenever he likes as he held back so much from the initial trial. The 'I was just a really scared kid' line is hard to argue with when you're dealing with a 13 year old in a murder trial. He obviously didn't expect the murder conviction, so now is going to tell a different story. That story might be the truth. Or it might be a lie.

    I understand that an appeal can be made in light of new evidence. But can it be permitted when that evidence was deliberately withheld by the person on trial?

    Good question. It's hard to see how it could really help him, he pled not guilty first time, so if he failed to provide the evidence then, it's hard to see how it could be so convincing that it would make a jury find him not guilty second time around - and if he failed the second time, would he provide another version and have yet another go?

    OTOH, how much extra leeway does his young age get him? Quite a lot I think.

    Maybe he could explain the real reason why he took the builder's tape from his father's shed and explain why he gave it to boy A.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,980 ✭✭✭✭tuxy


    Could he get a harsher sentence if the appeal finds he had an even greater part in it?
    I know it won't happen but technically possible?

    No. The conviction and sentence are dealt with seperately. The only way the sentence could be increased is if the DPP appeals it.
