Garda ha risparmiato la condanna per comportamento minaccioso e offensivo nel famoso bar gay di Dublino

>During the non-jury trial, Ms Parks alleged that after O’Reilly was asked to leave the pub, he returned and threatened he would “get the place shut down” and called a doorman a “black bastard”.

>The judge did not accept any of this took place and found the accused guilty only of getting too close to Ms Parks and aggressively pointing at her. “Had he not stood so close to Ms Parks and not towered above her and gesticulated as he did, I could have put it down to just finger-wagging and nothing more,” the judge said.

>He said O’Reilly had been “dragged over the coals” for three days on an assault charge that the court found to be “baseless.” Ms Parks had alleged the accused assaulted her by swiping the phone from her hand while she was filming him.

>The judge said the accused had been asked to leave a pub for allegedly being heavily intoxicated and boisterous but there was “simply no evidence” of that on the CCTV.

>He was seen to be pushed and pulled down the street by the manageress and a doorman. She had put her hand on his chest and he was “walked backwards with a camera shoved in his face.”

>He was physically brought to the ground by door staff who both said the manageress had “escalated the situation and deliberately tried to provoke” the accused. She proceeded to “photograph him in a humiliating manner”.

>Ms Parks had said on a 999 call that O’Reilly was “lashing out at her” but no such action was seen to take place and this was “window dressing” or “stage managed,” the judge said.

>His arrest was unlawful as O’Reilly did not get in the arresting garda’s face, as had been claimed, while the court also found he was wrongfully handcuffed and detained

Very interesting result in this case, sounds like he was stitched up to a certain extent, though he obviously acted badly himself..

That’s mad. There were 3 of them. She had no reason to ask them to leave other than they were too drunk. Two of them went home/somewhere else. He came back he started this. How is the judge coming to this conclusion. Was there cctv.

Surprise surprise
