Video evidence will be key in any appeal by Graham Dwyer

Should Graham Dwyer decide to appeal his conviction for the murder of Elaine O’Hara, several issues could be raised, including comments from the judge and the admissibility of evidence collected from two mobile phones.

The main grounds, however, seem to lie with the decision to show the jury videos of a graphic nature, according to senior counsel Seán Gillane who says the issue will “undoubtedly” be raised in any appeal.

“The argument, as I understand it, was simply put by Mr Farrell, counsel for Mr Dwyer, which was these images were so graphic that my presumption of innocence, as it were, is not going to be able to withstand that once a jury sees it,” said Mr Gillane, speaking on RTÉ Radio One’s Today with Sean O’Rourke.
