[janiwan]

he must have a Facebook as that photo is from there, in his little bio picture

Looks like a photo on Iarnrod Eireann train. To think I could have sat on a train next to this guy makes me sick

I missed the caption, silly me!

Had that crowd got hold of him outside that courthouse he would have been beaten to death. I can't remember a case that caused so much anger, except maybe Larry Murphy

I wonder about this disability thing.
Mental or physical???

Looking over the reporting it seems Gardai have a good case. CCTV footage of him in the area. Multiples witnesses ID him at the scene. A bike at the scene covered in prints etc. His wounds from Ashlings brave defence.

he hasn't a leg to stand on, it was broad daylight and two people intervened... that's probably why he tried to kill himself knows he's screwed

bet he'll pleade insanity

The Disablity payment is Irelands, most abused payment in the state. People with addictions etc are getting this payment.

 

[hurryup]

I just hope the case isn't thrown out due to prejudice. Social media has had a field day with this and he was identified on Twitter before he was charged.

Regardless of what we think of him, due process has to be upheld. It is one thing to type Facebook posts in English when you're not a native speaker but quite another thing to understand all the legalese and complex language used in court proceedings. It is in everybody's interest that he gets a fair trial so that the verdict is sound.

Possible insanity. Will more than likely have some sob story about a tough childhood and how he will suffer as a foreign national in an Irish prison.

Well,
This is what I predicted while reading reports of this tragedy.
The crime was absolutely disorganised, the mark of a "madman".
Possible suicide attempt.
And now the revelation of disability.
But, we shall see.

Exactly this. The police and courts will insist on an interpreter so nothing can be... misinterpreted... to prevent him potentially getting acquitted on a technicality. He may not need it day to day, but it ensures there are no misunderstandings in interview questioning.

I would take the disablity payment with a grain of salt. I would not take being on that payment as a fact someone is disabled. People with all sorts of minor issues and non at all are on that payment. It is an abused payment.

 

[Irishguy]

Posts online allegedly saying that he said he was attacked when presenting with stab injuries. Suggesting it was attempt to tie in his other injuries with a fake story. This could all be untrue but it's speculation.
