Hell hath no fury like a wife scorned

Jenny Forsey was not motivated by revenge, she said, when she blew the whistle on her estranged husband.

“Yes I was furious, yes I was horrified and disgusted,” she agreed in the witness stand on the second day of the trial of Fred Forsey Jnr, the man she married back in 1990 but has not spoken to since Dec 2006.

But revenge? “No,” she told John Phelan, who cross-examined her 10 days ago at Waterford Circuit Court and put it to her that she went to TD John Deasy, to voice her “suspicions” about Forsey’s dealings with a wealthy property developer, because she was angry about Fred having a “new partner” and her marriage breaking down.
