Gangland Shootings part 4 - Read OP before posting - updated 30/12/23

Believe there’s some quirk that he can’t be rearrested for 24 hours or something. Think all the stories about him visiting family and going to his favourite Chinese are fairy tales. If he’s somehow acquitted he’s out of the country in the 2 hours after. SCC will I think convict him. It will take a fairly imaginative judgment as tapes ambiguous and Dowdell a fantasist. A thin case to put it mildly but think they will convict.

There's absolutely not enough evidence to convict beyond reasonable doubt. And having listened to a few podcasts in relation to this, whether its a judge or a jury they still have to convict beyond reasonable doubt. If there's a shred of doubt he has to be found not guilty. And to me theres plenty of doubt. Nobody can 100% say hes guilty. There's too much ifs and buts.

I'd appreciate if you stopped being misleading in your posts.

For clarity here is what was said.

Course vinny ryan, darragh Evans, ger mackin and few others

People Before Profit down a TD.

Will he still get his €200k per year in salary +expenses+ MEP pension?

Spoke to soon - conclusion directly calls them liars.

An inconvenient truth!!!

I'd be very very careful on a push

"As bail was consented to Dowdall was released."

The court is in "no doubt" his bail enabled gardai to speak to him on his way to the airport.

At conclusion of a meeting Dowdall was told to gather thoughts and put pen to paper. Dowdall was of opinion guards were to return to him. Guards of view he was to come back to them.

Dowdall was asked how he wanted situation to end up. He said he was willing to give evidence. He met gardai again 12 July. Further info was imparted in relation to Regency.

Letter dated August 2nd sent to gardai set out history of communications and referenced neccesity for a nolle prosequi on the murder charge if Dowdall was to give evidence.

Hutch's counsel suggested it showed lack of interest by gardai in what Dowdall had to say. "The court tends to agree."

Justice Burns says statement was taken from Dowdall "after a long drawn out process" ten days before trial.

"It cannot be said Jonathan Dowdall found God." He was acting "out of self interest," Judge Burns said.

Judge Burns says "court of view Jonathan Dowdall obtained a significant benefit by providing a statement to An Garda Siochana"

Judge Burns: "The court is in no doubt if someone was to make a life for himself in the perilous situation he's now in, it is Jonathan Dowdall."
