Murder trial witness 'bought and paid for' - defence
A defence barrister in his closing speech to a jury in the trial of a Dublin murder has said the State’s main witness "is a bought man, a bought and paid for man".
Mr Brendan Nix SC representing Mr Thomas Hinchon suggested to the jury that Mr Joseph O’Callaghan (aged 20) who is the State’s main witness was given immunity from prosecution for possession of drugs from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
