Man has conviction overturned despite State claiming Snapchat video evidence used to clear him was edited
Myles Smith (22) had his conviction quashed at the District Court Appeals Court, despite the State submitting that other video footage presented as evidence in the case had been edited. Mr Smith, with an address at Mount Symon Lawn, Clonsilla, Dublin 15, had pleaded not guilty in the District Court to dangerous driving contrary to section 53.1 of the Road Traffic Act, 1961, and had also denied counts of driving with no insurance, driving without a licence, two counts of failure to produce documents and failure to produce information contrary to section 107 4b of the same act. Garda Andrew Burlingham told the appeals court that he was on patrol in the Blanchardstown area on April 12, 2021, at around 9pm when he observed a car drive from the left lane to the right lane without indicating and crossing over another vehicle. He said that he saw the car fail to indicate and turn back into Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, where his garda colleague activated his lights and sirens to indicate for the car to stop. Garda Burlingham said that the vehicle failed to stop and that he observed it driving at high speed, forcing other road users to take evasive action. He said that in the following pursuit, he saw the car driving extremely fast over speed bumps, ignore a red light and drive the wrong way around a roundabout. He said he pursued the car as it approached Aldemere Drive in Clonsilla, where he said it mounted a green area in an estate and was abandoned by the occupants. Garda Burlingham said that he saw Mr Smith exit from the driver's side of the car, that he pursued him to where he was hiding in a wooded area and arrested him. On the count of dangerous driving, Mr Smith was disqualified from driving for two years and given a fine of €450 in the District Court. He also got a two-year driving ban and a €400 fine for his charge of driving with no insurance and a fine of €300 euro for his charge of driving without a licence. Defence counsel for Mr Smith, Aoife McNickle BL, submitted that her client was not driving the car during the incident. Counsel said that he was sitting in the passenger side of the vehicle at the time, and presented a Snapchat video taken by Mr Smith during the pursuit, which she said proved he was in the passenger seat. The footage, which was played to the court, showed Mr Smith sitting in the car while flashing lights from the gardaí could be seen through the rear window and wing mirrors. She also presented a second video, taken by Mr Smith after the event, in order to prove his position in the car was in fact the passenger seat, not the driver seat. Counsel for the Director of Public Prosecutions, Clare Barry, put it to Mr Smith that she believed the second video had been edited between the moments when the camera flipped between front facing and back facing angles. She said that 'even the most digitally illiterate people can do that'. Mr Smith denied that the footage was edited and maintained that he was in the passenger seat and not driving the car. Mr Smith also claimed that Garda Burlingham was not the garda member who arrested him at the scene. Ms Barry said it was the State's case that Mr Smith was driving the car during the chase and that the second video, which he said proved he was in the passenger seat, was not authentic. Mr Smith denied this claim in court. Judge Jonathan Dunphy said that after 'numerous viewings' of the video evidence, he had doubt over who was driving the car. He said that although Mr Smith's behaviour as a passenger of the car was 'a disgrace', he must give him the benefit of the doubt and found there is no satisfactory evidence that he was the owner or driver of the car. He decided to allow the appeal of Mr Smith's conviction on these grounds. Funded by the Courts Reporting Scheme.

Pensioner who slashed neighbour's neck with Stanley knife in row over trespassing dogs avoids jail
Gary Healy, with an address at Palmerstown Woods, Clondalkin, Dublin, left his neighbour with cuts to his neck and arms after the assault. Healy had pleaded guilty in the District Court to assault causing harm contrary to section 3 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act, 1997. The District Court Appeals Court yesterday heard that on June 28, 2023, the victim went to the home of Mr Healy in order to speak to him following an earlier argument between Healy and the injured party's wife. Garda Shay Leonard, giving the facts on behalf of a colleague, told the court that there had been a disagreement between the neighbours concerning dogs trespassing in gardens. At the front doorstep of the house, Healy produced a Stanley knife and slashed at the injured party, the court heard. The injured party received minor injuries including a 7cm cut to his neck, two 5cm cuts to his forearms and a 2cm cut to his hand. Defence counsel for Healy, David Staunton BL, said that his client was reacting to the presence of the injured party at his doorstep and that he felt threatened when he heard someone come to the house. He said that Healy had lived a 'blameless existence' until this incident, where he had the 'momentary thought process' to pick up the blade, which he lived to regret. Mr Staunton said that Healy, who worked for 40 years as a porter in Temple Street Hospital, made the 'incredibly foolish and stupid decision' to arm himself in a panic. He presented letters and testimonials in support of Healy from members of his community and said that Healy has sought to avoid the injured party since the incident. Judge Jonathan Dunphy noted that something more serious could have happened and said the injured party has every right to be aggrieved and upset by the attack. He said he accepted Healy's actions were an overreaction and that 'he let himself, his family and his neighbours down on this occasion'. Judge Dunphy decided to replace Healy's four-month custodial sentence with a peace bond lasting 12 months. He also ordered that €3,000 in compensation be paid to the injured party, or to the injured party's chosen charity if he does not choose to accept it. Funded by the Courts Reporting Scheme.

Louth student avoids prison sentence for storing and dealing drugs
Josh Cole, Townley Manor, Tullyallen, Drogheda, pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of drugs for sale or supply at his home address, charges which stemmed from a Garda search which yielded cannabis worth more than €30,000 and cocaine valued €299. Judge Dara Hayes sentenced him to two concurrent terms of three-and-a-half years and suspended both for three-and-a-half years. Last April, the court heard that the defendant is studying Music and Computer Science at Maynooth University. He had been struggling for money after failing first year and having to pay full fees. He was holding most of the drugs for someone else. He was given money and some drugs to sell himself as payment for storing them. He was aged 19 at the time. Gda Emma Kilroe testified that on July 25, 2023, gardaí searched Mr Cole's home at Townley Manor where he lived with his brother and sister. In an upstairs bedroom a sports bag was found. It contained 1.51kg of cannabis valued €30,228 and 4.27g of cocaine worth €299.32. Gardaí also discovered a weighing scale and bags. The accused was present at the search and following his arrest made admissions during interview at Drogheda Garda Station. He wouldn't name other people involved. There were no previous convictions, nor had he come to adverse attention since. It was submitted by counsel that the accused had been prevailed upon to hold these drugs for 'more sinister elements in the community'. The case had been put back to allow him complete exams. ADVERTISEMENT On the adjourned date the court had 11 urinalysis reports from January 9 last to July 3 and all were negative, as well as the defendant's exam results. Judge Hayes said that the Probation Service had assessed Mr Cole at low risk of reoffending. A report noted that he was the youngest of three children, worked part-time in a local shop and had strong ties to his church. The judge remarked that by any measure it was a substantial quantity of drugs. The defendant had been dealing to a small scale as well as storing drugs. He remained a very young man. There was a very positive probation report and testimonials. Judges Hayes said that an immediate custodial sentence was not required. Funded by the Courts Reporting Scheme
