Future of Finucane murder trial to be known today

The Director of Public Prosecutions in the North is expected to reveal today whether or not he intends to compel a former journalist to give evidence in the trial of a man accused of murdering solicitor Pat Finucane.

Neil Mulholland is a crucial witness in the trial of William Stobie, but his lawyers have argued that he should not be called because he could commit suicide if compelled to testify.
