Brian Meehan wants Veronica Guerin murder conviction quashed

A man jailed for life for the murder of journalist Veronica Guerin has moved to have his conviction declared a miscarriage of justice.

Brian Meehan, aged 47, from Crumlin in Dublin, is serving a life sentence in Portlaoise having being convicted in July 1999 of the murder of Ms Guerin in June 1996.

He was convicted following a 31-day-trial before the non-jury Special Criminal Court. He was also jailed on drugs and firearms charges.
