Jury sent home in trial of alleged getaway driver

The jury in the trial of a man alleged to be the getaway driver for the gunman in a fatal shooting at a Dublin bookies, was sent home last night, after failing to reach a verdict following almost five hours of deliberations.

Mr Justice Paul Carney had told the jury that he would accept a majority verdict in the case of Liam Bolger (aged 23), of Homelawn Gardens in Tallaght, who denies the murder of Christopher Barry (aged 25), at Byrne's bookmakers, Killester Avenue in September 2008.
