Accused tells trial he'd rather be 'branded a rat' than convicted of murder he 'didn't do'
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Not guilty
Outcome: Under cross-examination, Bernard Condon SC put it to the accused that a suggestion he was "in fear" of Mr McClean was untrue because Mr McClean has already been sentenced for matters related to the case and "cannot be prosecuted further in relation to this offence". "I'm still at risk by giving this evidence," Mr Crawford replied.
