Money-laundering trial judge sends jury home

THE jury in the money-laundering trial at Cork Circuit Criminal Court heard no further evidence yesterday and were sent home by the trial judge until Monday.

The case did not proceed on Wednesday because the accused was described as being “indisposed”.

Judge Cornelius Murphy told the seven men and five women of the jury yesterday morning, “Mr Cunningham is still indisposed. In the safer view of things, we will adjourn until Monday morning. So we will be here all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed on Monday morning. And again under no circumstances should you discuss the case with anyone.”
