Michael Dooley是谋杀受害人Thomas "Tom" Dooley的表弟,他对2024年在Kerry县发生的2022年葬礼袭击事件的定罪提出上诉,他辩称,关键证人错误地指认了他,而且审判法官本应指示陪审团无罪开释,因为有缺陷的识别证据。 Michael Dooley, cousin of murder victim Thomas "Tom" Dooley, is appealing his 2024 conviction for the 2022 funeral attack in County Kerry, arguing he was wrongly identified by a key witness and that the trial judge should have directed a jury acquittal due to flawed identification evidence. 这次袭击被描述为残酷的“为维护名誉而杀人”事件,与一次破碎的交火有关,涉及6名携带刀刃武器的人,他们袭击了Rath墓地的7岁父亲Dooley。 The attack, described as a brutal "honour killing" linked to a broken engagement, involved six men armed with bladed weapons who assaulted Dooley, a father of seven, at Rath Cemetery. 辩护律师声称,一名证人最初因相似而误认了另一名被告,而且法官未能在陪审团指示中适当处理这一错误。 Defense lawyers claim a witness initially misidentified another defendant due to resemblance, and that the judge failed to properly address this error in jury instructions. 检察官坚称,Siobhan Dooley在法庭上正确地指认Michael Dooley为持枪男子,其他证词和闭路电视录像支持检方的案情。 Prosecutors maintain that Siobhan Dooley correctly identified Michael Dooley in court as the man with a weapon and that other testimony and CCTV footage support the prosecution’s case. 上诉继续在上诉法院进行。 The appeal continues at the Court of Appeal.
