Football star goes free as judge rubbishes case

AN All-Ireland-winning footballer walked free from court yesterday.

The judge said student garda Aidan O’Mahony, 26, might never even have been charged if he was not a top footballer.

Judge James O’Connor found there was no case against Mr O’Mahony. He said the evidence lacked “cohesion and credibility and did not stand up to cross-examination”.
