The Trevor Gleeson case - what happened next?

political analyst · 2020-12-11 01:14:53

This is from November of 2018. https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-30882854.html I have Googled the case but I have found no mention of the Supreme Court's decision on whether the conviction stayed quashed. I don't believe that the court hasn't already made that decision. Does anyone on this forum know?

A prison officer's conviction for possession of €6,000 worth of drugs should not have been overturned over how the jury was instructed concerning his claim of being under duress from persons associated with a Limerick criminal gang, the Supreme Court has ruled.

Because Trevor Gleeson's conviction had been overturned on additional grounds of prosecutorial failure to comply with disclosure obligations, which were not appealed, the court will decide later the consequences of its findings and whether his conviction remains overturned.
