Shooting trial jury ‘can draw inferences’

The jury in the trial of a man accused of firing a shot through the front-room window of a house in Cork City in May was told in the closing prosecution speech that the inference from the evidence was inescapable.

Donal O’Sullivan, prosecuting, went through the timeline of various sightings of a man on CCTV footage in the relevant areas and times, including CCTV which the accused had outside his own house.

Gavin Sheehan, aged 30, of 7 Laurel Ridge, Shanakiel, Cork, pleaded not guilty to all four charges against him arising out of the incident which occurred on May 15.
