'Cornucopia of evidence' against 'tiger kidnapper' Paschal Kelly, appeal told
Stage: Appeal
Finding: Convicted
Outcome: Convicted; However, lawyers for Kelly in his appeal against his conviction and 18-year sentence have questioned the quality of CCTV footage involved in the case and said the jury in the original trial should have been warned against making any identification. The father-of-two had denied all charges but was found guilty by the jury and sentenced to 18 years by Dublin Circuit Criminal Court in 2018.
