Doneraile Trial Stalls as Juror Absent

The Doneraile murder trial in Cork hit a snag as one juror missed court on day 15, forcing the judge to send the rest home—delaying proceedings until Friday at the earliest, or Monday, June 29, if the juror doesn’t return. The jury will soon hear closing legal instructions from Judge Siobhán Lankford before deliberating on two remaining defendants: 20-year-old Alex Deady and a 17-year-old, both charged with murder but admitting to manslaughter. A third suspect, a 16-year-old, has been separated from the murder case after pleading guilty to manslaughter and is now on bail, with his trial postponed. The fate of the two teens hinges on the judge’s final charge and the jury’s verdict. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
