Barrister fears injustice at Anabel's trial

A defence barrister has told the Brian Murphy manslaughter trial that he fears a terrible injustice could be done in the case because of the "palpable atmosphere" that it has taken place in.

Mr John Edwards SC, for Mr Dermot Laide, told the jury in his closing submission that he had dealt with some of the worst cases of violence in over 20 years as a barrister, but this one was perhaps the "most difficult and most hateful" he had ever done.
