That is a perfectly reasonable thing to say, but it does not mean Dwyer is not guilty. As for the coach, the ambition of coaches is to get players playing football and away from the other stuff. A coach is perfectly competent to state that a player has talent and that he reliably turned up for training. That is a perfectly reasonable thing to say, but it does not mean Brady is not guilty. This was a strange crime, the amount of money was trivial, €7000 among a gang of 5, you could earn that much in couple of days in a regular job. By all accounts Brady held down a job in New York and was reliable to that extent.

Perhaps with the action of running with the shotgun, it went off accidentally? Normally if you were holding people up in a robbery, there would be a lot of shouting and pointing of weapons, but the fact that the Guard was shot the minute he put his head up was very callous. Do we really think that the gang had decided to murder straight away? If so, why not kill the 2nd guard who was armed?

I'm puzzled as to how he convinced found four other equaliy moronic people in his peer group to carry out what went on outside that credit union. It's not normal. None of them are part of an ethnic group, they're all allegedly from regular backgrounds, there isn't a history of extreme poverty or drug addiction. I'm just curious as to how a group of basically well healed young men get in to this sort of stuff.

If someone asks me for a reference then I provide a factual reference stating the things that I know about, that is my duty to the court. It is not my duty to alter the facts of different events because I think you did a bad thing, quite the opposite. Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and let the court decide.

I find it a bid strange, being from Dublin anyone I knew that turned out a criminal were usually from a pretty deprived background. Bad parenting, unemployment, drugs and poverty would have had a big impact on the choice of 'career'. But Brady seems to be from a pretty average background. How does someone like that begin to joyride stolen cars in small rural towns (and properly joyride, ramming other cars and causing mayhem) and manage to have four like minded friends that would be willing to carry out an armed robbery?

Once upon a time if you murdered a member of An Garda Siochana you were sentenced to be hanged. That's why its referred to as a 'capital' crime. This of course all changed in 1954 after the last person Michael Manning from Limerick was hanged by Albert Pierrepoint in Mountjoy Prison for raping and murdering a nurse. The death penalty was abolished in 1964 for the murder of Gardaí, diplomats and prison officers. It was finally abolished by statute for these remaining offences in 1990 and was finally expunged from the Constitution of Ireland by a referendum in 2001. The punishment now for killing a Garda is incarceration for a minimum term of forty years. The Irish Times this morning states Aaron Brady 'will be almost 60' when he is released. He is currently 29 years of age and has spent two years already in jail. This means he has a further 38 years behind bars which should make him 67 by the time he's paroled. But as I said earlier maybe the Irish Times know different.

Many of you on this thread are just goiAgng to have to get it through your heads that republicans had nothing to do with this and if they had the Garda and media would be shouting that from the rooftops and Brady most certainly would not have got a jury trial.
