CCA adjourns decision on convicted rapist's appeal

The Court of Criminal Appeal adjourned its decision today on a bid by a Dublin criminal to take his case to the Supreme Court on a “point of exceptional public importance”.

The CCA of Mrs Justice Fidelma Mackin presiding, sitting with Mr Justice Eamon De Valera and Mr Paul Gilligan said it was not in a position to “immediately” rule on an application brought by convicted rapist Christopher Griffin.
