Notice to all pub lawyers: case closed

IN the last week or so, the country has seen unprecedented attention focused on the Wayne O’Donoghue trial. Offices, pubs and living rooms across the nation all became venues for heated debate.

Despite the fact that a criminal trial took place and a jury convicted O’Donoghue, more than a week later the public are still trying the case.

We have suddenly become a nation of amateur solicitors, legal analysts and badge-wielding detectives.
