Man's explanation for breaking into car 'far-fetched', judge says

Accused claimed he was without his keys and mistook the car for his own

Judge Olann Kelleher said, “I find it impossible to believe that it was an error. I think it is far-fetched."

Far-fetched was how a judge described a man’s explanation for breaking into a car — he claimed that he was without his keys and mistook the car for his own.

Christopher Judge of 28 Lower Fairhill, Cork, offered that explanation through his solicitor for the break-in. Frank Buttimer, solicitor, said Judge had drink taken at the time when he damaged someone else’s car, mistaking it for his own.
