Accused seeks book of evidence

A MAN accused of impersonating a garda and stealing €28,000 from a pensioner in Cork city last summer is anxious to receive the book of evidence, a solicitor said yesterday.

Judge Con O’Leary acceded to the application to make the case peremptory against the state for service of a book of evidence.

The decision could possibly result in the case against the accused being struck out if the book of evidence is not served on the accused man on January 26.
