Garda: Accused's phone not used for threatening calls

A garda has revealed that the "suspect" phone from which threatening calls were made to a journalist was not the accused's phone, which was itself 'in contact' with a senior garda at that same time.

Detective Garda Mark Gallagher was giving evidence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on day five of the trial of a man charged with threatening to kill Paul Williams, crime editor of The Sunday World.
