CCA hears convictions unsafe due to Carney speech

The convictions of two brothers found guilty of murdering a father of six are unsafe because of comments included in a widely-publicised speech at UCC during their trial by Mr Justice Paul Carney, the Court of Criminal Appeal heard today.

In June 2008 Warren Dumbrell (aged 35) and Jeffrey Dumbrell (aged 29), from Emmet Place, Inchicore, Dublin, were found guilty of the murder of Christopher Cawley (aged 36).
