Gilligan: I did not receive a proper trial

Convicted drug dealer John Gilligan has claimed before the Supreme Court that he did not receive a proper trial when his assets were frozen by the State in 1996.

As a result, his lawyers say, subsequent court rulings based on that decision were flawed or invalid.

He wants a five-judge Supreme Court to revisit a decision it made in 2008 declaring certain of his assets, and those of his family, came from the proceeds of crime.
