Murder at the Cottage | Sky

What if Marie Farrell actually had the killer in her car that night unbeknownst to her at the time? I know she never revealed the identity, but is it known what time she picked up the man and from where? Has someone scared her that she could be seen as accessory to murder..

She has claimed before that the man who was in the car is now dead, has anyone ever researched if the dates match up with the dead guard.

I'll have to listen back to the West Cork podcast, but she may have given a time period of when the person died.

Hmmmm......... a bit rich coming from someone who earlier named and associated a dead Garda with this crime based on hearsay based upon hearsay based upon more hearsay. And there is proof of a fire and shoes or boots burned by Bailey in the fire.

I went back and listened, she doesn't give a timeline beyond the person being dead. She did however say that her mother told her this man was dead in 2000.

Some people like to walk around naked, at home.

On the LL Sophie's son seems to be saying that there is new testimony about the murder?

Did it seem that they were very sure someone out there had info and that's who all this interview was for? Especially the piece to camera. Possibly (rightly or wrongly) thinking that jules has info and now that they're broken up she'll go to the guards with it?

Does anyone here know how IB pays for his attorney? The prior court costs he was ordered to pay? And also his daily living expenses?

Which is exactly why there is the need for strict constitutional separation of powers between the legislative and judicial arms of the state. Politics should have no part in the administration of justice.

Is everything you read or hear taken literally? Are sarcasm, satire or humour concepts you are unable to discern?

Was that from the couple who went drinking with him the following day? Drinking with a man that just confessed to an incredibly brutal murder. And they sat on that statement for how long? Says more about them than him. There's no telling for sure he even said it, why would we class what they say as credible? But lets presume he did say it, it doesn't prove anything. He could have been messing with them, putting on a show for his own entertainment. He could have done it to get them out of the house. So he brakes down and confesses in front of them but not under intense gardai interrogation or rigorous media scrutany spanning decades at this stage? And the guards would have come down hard on him no question, he was always their man after all.

The suspended sentence for Leo Bolger was extraordinary. Our judges are contemptuous of the 10 year minumum sentence law which they rarely apply and which a High Court judge has now decided is unconstitutional. Even so, a suspended sentence for a sophisticated and large-scale cannabis farm is completely out of line with judicial practice. The judge's comment that the defendant was “perhaps trying to survive in the magnificent peninsula of Dunmanus Bay” indicates that there was little to be said in mitigation.

The prospect of 10 years in jail concentrates the mind wonderfully allowing Bolger to recall introducing IB to Sophie many years earlier in an incident so brief and casual that mere mortals would have forgotten it a week later but the mind of a convicted drug dealer is a wonderful thing. And if IB was never introduced to Sophie, he has no possible motive for murder.
