Nevin lawyer: Witnesses were state informers

CONVICTED murderer Catherine Nevin’s lawyer said material not given to her defence team at the time would have indicated that key prosecution witnesses were paid state informers.

An application yesterday by Nevin to have her conviction for the murder of her husband Tom Nevin declared a miscarriage of justice was adjourned to March 3.

An appeal against her conviction was dismissed in 2003 by the Court of Criminal Appeal (CCA), but Nevin has brought proceedings under the Crime Procedure Act 1993 to have her case declared a miscarriage of justice.
