Solicitor to lodge conviction appeal

John Dundon’s solicitor said they would be lodging an appeal to the murder conviction in which they would put forward new evidence showing his innocence.

Solicitor John Devane also said his client was not showing disrespect to the court by listening to music on headphones saying he “didn’t want to over-react” if he was found guilty.

Dundon listened to music on a CD walkman throughout the entire reading of the judgment in the Special Criminal Court. The muffled sound of it was audible throughout the courtroom.
