Man found not guilty of intimidating witness

Edwin Long, of 72 Edward Walsh Rd, Togher, pleaded not guilty to intimidating Peter Graham on April 5, 2013, at Glasheen Rd, Cork, with the intention of interfering with an investigation or the course of justice. Mr Graham was a witness in another case at the time.

Brendan Kelly, defending, submitted at the close of the prosecution evidence there was insufficient evidence on which a jury could convict Mr Long of the charge. He said there had been an exchange of words between the parties but that this was insufficient to put to the jury considering the charge.
