Jury discharged in 'garda impersonation' trial
The jury in the trial of a Meath man who allegedly called to a Dublin house pretending to be a garda has been discharged after failing to agree on a verdict following almost eight hours deliberation.
Tony Hand (aged 35) of Kilbrena Estate, Dunboyne had pleaded not guilty to assaulting Daniel O'Connell causing him harm by fracturing his jaw on November 14, 2004 at Lally Road, Ballyfermot.
