Fear of garda made witness lie, Tribunal told
A key witness told the Morris Tribunal today he was afraid of a garda sergeant who he claimed prompted him to make a maze of false allegations.
Bernard Conlon, an illiterate and unemployed man from Sligo, said Det Sgt John White put him up to making false claims that two members of the extended McBrearty family from Co Donegal threatened him with death by a silver bullet.
