Nally awaits outcome on appeal for manslaughter
Nally’s counsel, Brendan Grehan SC, submitted to the court that the trial judge Mr Justice Paul Carney had erred in law by not allowing the jury to consider a defence of self defence and by not allowing them to bring in an acquittal.
At the trial Mr Justice Paul Carney told the jury they could only bring in a verdict of either guilty of murder or manslaughter.
