Judgement reserved in appeal over publican robbery
Potential jurors in the trial of a man accused of shooting publican Charlie Chawke should have been excluded if they were supporters of Fianna Fáil, the Court of Criminal Appeal was told today.
The three-judge appeal court was hearing arguments made by Frank Ward, who is attempting to overturn his conviction on charges arising out of a robbery at Chawke’s pub, The Goat Grill, Goatstown, South Dublin on October 6, 2003.
