The Court of Appeal has dismissed Brian Meehan’s appeal to have his conviction declared a miscarriage of justice, deeming it “an abuse of process.”
47-year-old Brian Meehan is currently serving a life sentence in Portlaoise prison after being convicted of murdering well known journalist Veronica Guerin in 1996.
Mr. Meehan had applied to have the conviction quashed on the basis of alleged newly discovered facts.
