77岁的Noel Long对1981年谋杀Nora Sheehan一案的2023年定罪提出上诉,该案件成为爱尔兰历史上最古老的谋杀案起诉。
Noel Long, 77, is appealing his 2023 conviction for the 1981 murder of Nora Sheehan, a case that became the oldest murder prosecution in Irish history.

His appeal argues that the lengthy delay in prosecution prejudiced his right to a fair trial and that DNA, fiber, and paint evidence should have been excluded due to issues with a 1981 arrest under the Offences Against the State Act and alleged constitutional violations during searches.

The Court of Appeal is reviewing the case, with no new evidence introduced.
结果将决定定罪是否成立,或是否需要重审。
