Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch Walks Free: Inside the Courtroom of the Regency Murder Trial | The Group Chat

With "the gangland trial of the century" now concluded, Richard and Zara chat to Virgin Media Courts Correspondent Deborah Naylor about the wider impact of the Regency shooting. Deborah admits that in all her time in court, she had only seen one murder acquittal. "It's not a common thing." She tells them about the State's representatives' scathing reaction to the court's description of their witness, Jonathan Dowdall. She recalls him being referred to as a "callous-based criminal." "They effectively said he was someone whose evidence couldn't be trusted." "It's fair to say they [the Courts] assassinated his character." - 00:00 | Gerry Hutch Walks Free 02:28 | Will He Give An Interview? 03:53 | State's Reliance on Johnathan Dowdall 04:48 | Problematic Witness 06:11 | Assassination of Dowdall's Character 07:25 | "The Three Yokes" - The Group Chat is a weekly video and audio offering where Zara, Richard and Gavan will bring viewers and listeners behind the scenes of the week’s biggest news stories, with a host of special guests also joining the conversation. 🎧 Out now on all pod platforms: http://bit.ly/3ZJBl5K - #GavanReilly #ZaraKing #RichardChambers #News #Ireland #hutch #trial
