Appeal court delays decision on peace activist's conviction
The Court of Criminal Appeal has reserved judgment in an appeal brought by peace activist Mary Kelly against her conviction for taking an axe to a US navy aircraft at Shannon Airport, causing $1.5m worth of damage.
Mary Kelly (aged 54), with an address at Fort Lorenzo in Galway, was convicted by an Ennis jury in October 2004 of causing criminal damage without lawful excuse to the 737 US navy aircraft and for entering the airport illegally on January 29, 2003.
