Graham Dwyer - latest

Asdfgh2020 · 30-05-2021 5:33pm #1

Seems like Ireland’s most sick of sick depraved sadistic citizens ever is getting the EU Courts to make a judgement on the legality of the state gathering and using his mobile phone data to convict him. Doe this mean he is possibly one step closer to freedom if he succeeds….?

Then the question arises if he was released would he be given a new identify In Case be was harassed/assaulted/battered by someone?

I'll be amazed if you could find a jury who were willing to find him not guilty in a re-trial.

But would it make it to another trial due to how infamous the case already is ,

30-05-2021 6:28pm

Why would you think he could get a new identity?

JackTC · 30-05-2021 6:30pm

Could anything serious come of this or are just stringing him along to make him happy?

His poor wife. Imagine him coming knocking on the door wanting to see his kids. Surely the EU court couldn't rule against using mobile data in such a case.

Not sure it would be up to them. Fairly sure I've seen cases where a judge ordered the jury to deliver a not guilty because whatever procedures were meant to be adhered to had fallen short.

I'm assuming they are now divorced, and that even if he was to be found not guilty she could argue that the videos he took of himself tortuing women, along with his absolutely batshyt manifesto found on his laptop, would be more than enough to prevent access.

Thing is, from reading about the case at the time, Dwyer was a man obsessed with his standing in society.

When he is released, he will never work at anything again, let alone a high paid job like architect. His home is gone, his wife and kids have left him, he effectively has nothing left to live for. He will go from a six figure earning homeowner in Foxrock to an unemployed loner living with his parents in small town Cork (unless he has a few quid from the house sale)

That, in my view, makes him more dangerous than ever. He could do an abduction and kill himself before capture.

Courts only deal in law. They have to rule according to what the law says, they can't let emotions come into it.

Don't think you can't re try someone just because of how infamous he is.

Agent Coulson · 30-05-2021 7:15pm

Isn’t it rumoured the reason the Garda haven’t gone after gangland here using the encrypted phone evidence they have like there counterparts around Europe is until the outcome of Dwyer’s challenge is heard.

Serious enough if the Sindo reporting is true. They said Dwyer is expected to win his European case at the end of June and then use that ruling to appeal his conviction here. It says he could be released from prison by the end of this year pending a re-trial. If there is a re-trial the media will have a field day getting to re-hash all that salacious evidence again.

Id also imagine this ruling will have knock on consequences for other convictions that were based on mobile phone data

30-05-2021 7:50pm

Would there ever be a re trial, I'm pretty sure it's impossible to re try for the same offence

If the appeal rendered the original trial was in err due to part of the evidence being illegaly obtained then they could retrial

But it would be impossible to get a fair trial after

given his guilt

The whole trial hung on the mobile geo data

Is it not already a done deal. Alan Wilson won the same ruling. If he wins it hell never do another day in jail. Unsafe conviction then due to media hyperbole he will have an "unfair retrial" Graham more then likely back on his sick websites come end of summer.

There wasn't much hard evidence against Dwyer to be honest. Take away the phone evidence and he could walk in a retrial.

No unless your acquitted retrial is fine. Mark farrelly tiger kidnapper 3 trials I think it was on same offence.

Actually it isn’t. Someone I know does it for the Gardaí.

His evidence was used in this case and the hotel shooting, plus many more.

The details of it are extremely interesting, I don’t think this appeal has a hope.

This was the start of Grahams action, leading to him winning his action in irish courts then the state appealed to Europe.

If you live in foxrock and your daughter or ma is a kinkster lock her up. Hereesss Johnny.

I think the issue in Dwyers case is data retention, or more so how long they are allowed retain it for. I could be way off track though.

Zero hard evidence given the time

Overwhelming circumstantial evidence

Great work by an Garda to be honest, a mobile really is noose to hang yourself on

Tying the two phones together at the toll booths really was feckin interesting

It was a remarkable case really given the luck in finding the phones with her loyalty card and good weather giving a low water level

Better than any crime novel

Pete_Cavan · 30-05-2021 8:27pm

Law in general if completely fcuked up if Dwyer wins this case. Why should mobile data be considered so private that it can not be used to convict a murderer? Surely there is a stronger argument for your DNA being more private, it is literally part of your very being, could it be ruled inadmissible in court, not giving your permission to use yourself as evidence against yourself or something like that?

The law is supposed to be about justice, I don't see how justice can be served by ignoring evidence that proves someone committed a murder.

Yeah. The only mistake he made was having the burner phone and his own phone both on for a couple of minutes and one time. Everything was linked back to that

The manner of the retention of O'Dwyers data and by extension other cases that are built on the retention of call logs and other data and use of mast and geolocation data have huge legal implications.

The data retained and its use even if in convicting an absolute monster are going to likely be struck down.
It's an absolute travesty, but if the data retention policy is struck down a major tool in combating criminality could well be lost.

It's become quite difficult for even valid warrants presented to Telco's in the past 3yrs to be actioned appropriately.
There is huge pushback from legal in any Telco I have knowledge of.
The O'Dwyer SC case has led to some warrants being challenged in court. Data is being actioned and gathered as per warrants issued in some instances but not handed over to the Gardaí until the legal ramifications of the ECJ case are resolved and digested.

LMHC · 30-05-2021 8:36pm

There's been a lot of cases recently where Data from phones led to the release of prisoners. I know 2 who were charged allegedly selling a firearm they were in custody for 12 months due to this ruling on first day of trial jury was discharged in April of this year and 2 lads sent home as case was built on Data.

Nah he had the two phones side by side all the time, it's just narrowing it down

They had him in cork Galway etc and his toll tag logged so once out of dublin on the same date multiple times there was no denying it was him

Even with the phone evidence being admitted, I'm surprised he was convicted. I think he did it for sure, but the evidence against him was weak enough.
