Anti-Vaxxer arrested over death of Donegal COVID patient

Exactly, the poor man is dead due to this utterly stupid fool.

Hopefully this eejit gets a few years behind bars.

But he'll probably play the mental health card - in reality he is just phenomenally stupid.

The newspaper report is careful to say that Mureddu's arrest "relates to an incident at Letterkenny University Hospital" when McCarron was "assisted in leaving".

It doesn't say that the incident was the provision of assistance to leave. It could have been something that happened at the same time - a trespass offence, an offence involving abuse of the staff, something of that kind. Or, of course, it could be the assistance to leave. We'll have to wait and see what charge, if any, is brought.

If the charge is to be in relation to the assistance to leave, there has been speculation that the charge will be endangerment. But I see a problem here. The offence involves engaging in "conduct which creates a substantial risk of death or serious harm to another". But McCarron was already at substantial risk of death; his doctor can be heard telling him exactly this in the video. Murredu's conduct may have intensified McCarron's risk of dying of Covid, but it doesn't seem to me that it created that risk. I think a prosecution for endangerment may fail.

I disagree. taking him out of the hospital creates a new risk of death or serious injury due a lack of a required medical treatment. the risk of dying due to a lack of medical treatment did not exist while he was in the hospital.

A bell end like this hounded a member of the force into suicide not so long ago by means of concerted social media harassment that lasted more than a year.

Interestingly the "lady" responsible for that had much the same views as this despicable creature.

Released without charge.

Kicked up to the DPP to make the decision.

Will be very interesting to see what happens.

Sure, but consent isn't always that simple. People can be coerced or deceived into making decisions. The fact that they made decision doesn't mean the other person is necessarily scott free.

Any road, it's pretty clear that while the dead man was a complete simpleton, he was also deeply involved in this freeman nonsense over the last several years, so it's unlikely the other fruit loop came into the hospital and randomly convinced him to leave. He was most likely intending on leaving but just wanted some support.

He's friendly with Dolores Cahill and previously with Gemma O'Doherty though Gemma now claims he is a state agent.
