Wrongfully convicted ex-nun to sue State

NORA WALL, the former nun wrongfully convicted of rape and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1999, is to sue the State for damages.

Her case is regarded as “open and shut” with only the amount of the damages to be determined. They are expected to be substantial.

Earlier this month, judges in the Court Of Criminal Appeal cleared the way for her legal redress when they ruled that there had been a “serious defect” in the administration of justice by the State in Nora Wall’s case.
