Lawyers for Gerard ‘The Monk’ Hutch, who is accused of the murder of Kinahan Cartel member David Byrne at the Regency Hotel, have told his Special Criminal Court trial that they don't expect to call any evidence on his behalf.

However, John Fitzgerald SC, representing Mr Hutch's co-accused Jason Bonney, said his legal team would be going into evidence on Tuesday. After 13 weeks of evidence, the State is expected to conclude its case on Tuesday against Mr Hutch and his two co-accused, who both deny participating in the murder by providing access to vehicles, before the prosecution give their closing speech.
