Passage of time ‘clouds case’

Alan Boohan, aged 34, of Glenogra, Fedamore, had pleaded not guilty at Limerick Circuit Court to intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to Eoghan O’Callaghan on the night of September 24, 2001, while on their way home from a 21st birthday party at Bulgaden Castle, Kilmallock.
After evidence concluded on the third day of the trial earlier this month, the jury asked Judge Tom O’Donnell could they find that the accused did not inflict the injury intentionally, but did so recklessly.
