you need not worry, Silver's lawyers will appeal anything untoward. Probably be an appeal anyway I would say.. 40 years is because it was a Garda. Capital murder I think as Silver knew or was reckless to whether he was a Garda.
"If and when a judge allows others ridiculous accusations and does not direct the jury to dismiss certain said things ... in my eyes, there you have a crooked judge.Your opinion but was it the defence lawyer's opinion. If the defence think that they will follow-up and challenge.
not a judge fan or garda fan at all. But no offence, a lot of people do not know about law, rules of evidence, and what is relevant in court.
No way would the defence leave that unturned if it were true and could be used as defence. I didn't follow the case very closely but I bet the defence lawyers did. And I am not lawyer fan either.
"You're a journalist oh hell .....or are you? nothing personal but not my favourite type of people either." it not like i asked you to marry me
How do i stop these moving icons, emoji or whatever they are
*I have the same source the courts had when they said the killing was personal and NOT related to mental issues.
Why do you want to know, would it make a difference to the sentencing of Stephen Silver? actually that's a stupid question.... it would be MASSIVE, however would they handle it, or cover it up in other words."
The courts may have been referring to the fact they felt it was not related to Silver's mental illness. He was on trial. I do not know legally if Horkan's state would have been relevant.
I cannot see journalists don't know and i cannot see all of them covering it up if it was relevant to the case.
Why I want to know is I might look into it or ask someone to. You can pm me any more you know if you want.
As to making a difference I'm sure Silver's defence know and if it it relevant will appeal. I would say they may appeal anyway.
There are rules around court and what evidence is allowed. It does not necessarily mean the judge is corrupt
Sorry I am typing on phone. Didn't paragraph. The cop who beat the shit out of his girlfriend is nothing to do with the case you mentioned.
It was in the 80s he beat her. They eventually broke up I think unless she was foolish enough to be the one who married him. He was subsequently attacked by an armed man and developed PTSD so he said and got big compo. My point was he was brave enough to beat her but not much good against a man.
Do you have a source for your claim the Garda Silver shot had mental problems and this was hidden from court/media?
No jury would find a cop killer innocent. The man was mentally ill. It's just the cops who are allowed big compo when traumatised. One got a huge payment but no one told how he was kicking the shit out of his girlfriend years ago. I knew her. Thug cop not so brave when someone stuck a gun in his face

RE: Depression & mental illness
One thing about stopping meds is it should be done gradually, not just stop suddenly
