I don’t believe a word, rules judge

A 64-year-old woman failed yesterday in her appeal against public order convictions as the judge said he did not believe her version of events.

Last year at Cork District Court, Judge David Waters convicted Marian Kane, of Sunvalley Court, Sunvalley Drive, on charges of engaging in threatening, abusive, or insulting words or behaviour and failing to leave the scene of a disturbance when directed by gardaí.

Cross-examined by state solicitor Frank Nyhan, she said of the incident: “I am not lying, it is the guards who are lying.”
