Man jailed for Veronica Guerin murder to appeal conviction

A man jailed for the murder of Veronica Guerin has today applied to have his conviction declared a miscarriage of justice.

Brian Meehan from Crumlin in Dublin, is serving a life sentence following his conviction in July 1999 for the murder of the journalist in 1996, after a 31-day-trial before the non-jury Special Criminal Court.
