Gangland Shootings part 4 - Read OP before posting - updated 30/12/23

Gadgetman496

Court of opinion segments of audio prosecution rely on do not give rise to him being at Regency

At most they give rise to him giving the go ahead

Gusser09

Does anyonethink the Kinahans will seek revenge after this length of time against Hutch? Will they restart the feud and look to wipe them all out?

Gadgetman496

Audio establishes Hutch is out of country in “immediate aftermath” of Regency “at least.”

And it does not establish that he was there on the day, she says.

Judge pointing out what looked obvious all along, Gerry didn't fit the physical profile of either shooter

100% those shooters were clearly fit young men in their 20s/30's.

He's done it. Slippery fox.

If they wanted a conviction they should have gone with a lesser charge it seems!

Quags

Not Guilty

Can't see them letting him waltz around Dublin if he gets off. Mind you, he mightn't be their number 1 priority now. They have their own legal problems.

Thesiger

Not guilty!

So Whats Your issue with the monk? You seem to have a personal vendetta against him

When is the movie out - crazy

Not guilty. Monk slips the Special Criminal Court.

State goofed-up big style chasing murder as opposed to lesser charges. Signposted a mile away.

BattleCorp

Serious egg on the face of the authorities with this verdict.

The verdict makes sense when you see the judge break it down bit by bit. Certainly reasonable doubt.

Because of Dowdall, the State snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Gusser09

The DPP and AGS have some serious questions to answer. They gave JD a pass based on some really poor and what seems like fabricated evidence.

How long did Hutch do on remand?

TipsyMcStagge

Hutch walks an absolute farce of a case now if Patsy had been charged on the other hand..

I just can't understand why they didn't charge Hutch in relation to the guns as well.

lmao10

My theory was always that he was a step ahead all along. Dowdall gets off and Gerry gets away. Perfectly planned. Dowdall played a stormer. In my view, Hutch has completely outsmarted everyone here.

I think when you look at cases such as the Mel Cox case, it's very hard to be on the side of the Hutches.

Gadgetman496

Someone's chips were very well placed in the middle of the table 😉

Gusser09

Hopefully the state now pursue the lesser charges and put a proper case together. Simply put if there is evidence that they planned the hit and gave the go ahead for it they can't be let off.

I don't think Hutch planned this to be honest. Dowdall sh1t himself obiovsly and decided to go State witness. Think about it.

The State had nothing on Hutch even with JD's evidence. They would have had even less without it.

How long will Gerard and Patsy last is the real question.

Gadgetman496

Brendan Grehan asks court to allow Gerry Hutch to now be released

Hutch barely reacted to the verdict other than a slight nod

Dodge

A fair few of you on here owe the judge and SCC a bit of an apology to be fair. There were loads of you claiming he was going to be found guilty despite the lack of evidence

Not sure if that's how Dowdall sees it! He's now got both factions in the feud after him!

GBX

Dowdall will be **** it his application for witness protection is going ahead. Marked man either way. Snake 🐍

Gusser09

Why didn't the DPP bring multiple charges against him? (Possession of weapons and directing the OCG etc). Why just murder. Crazy stuff.

Gusser09

We owe them nothing.

The one thing I will say is this verdict certainly blows Sinn Feinns case for the SCC to be disbanded out of the water. This verdict proves it is fit for purpose if anything.

Do you have personal experience of the Hutch family?

Gusser09

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120488118#Comment_120488118

Yes family members do. Not the Robinhood type figures some here are making out.
