Jury directed to find assault accused not guilty
A jury in the trial of a man and a woman accused of a serious assault in which the victim lost his one remaining eye has been directed to find one of the accused not guilty.
Judge Joseph Matthews told the jury at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court that, following a day of legal argument, he had ruled that Brigid Davis, of no fixed abode and formerly of Alfie Byrne House, Dublin 1 should be found not guilty of the five charges against her.
