'I'm going home': Judge directs not guilty verdict in attempted murder trial

Ms Justice Eileen Creedon's told the jury to find  two men not guilty by reason of her direction because the prosecution evidence against the defendants was "not sufficiently strong enough".

 A judge has taken the "exceptional measure" of directing a trial jury to find two men accused of the attempted murder of a teenager in Dublin not guilty due to a lack of evidence against them.

Upon receiving Ms Justice Eileen Creedon's judgement, the two men stood and celebrated in the dock, slapping hands and hugging, with accused man Jamie Berry telling his supporters in the court: "I'm going home! I'm going home soon!"
