Miscarriages of Justice
2:40 pm
Maureen O'Sullivan (Dublin Central, Independent) | Oireachtas source
Two people in prison based on conjecture, circumstantial evidence, contradictory evidence and inconsistencies is not justice for the very regrettable murder of Stephen Carroll. This is all part of a bigger, unjust system in the North, with revocation of licences, evidence being withheld, legal teams not being able to defend their clients when they do not know what the evidence is. We have a parole commission hearing, which is incredible in a so-called democracy. I want to believe in a fair justice system but I do not see it at the moment when I look at all of those examples in Northern Ireland.
