HIV infection trial is adjourned

Summary

The trial of a 28‑year‑old African national accused of intentionally or recklessly infecting two women with HIV has been adjourned until next Monday. The State alleges the defendant knew his HIV status when he infected the women, constituting serious harm. He pleaded not guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for causing serious harm to two former partners between November 2009 and June 2010. Judge Martin Nolan informed a jury of nine women and three men that an issue had arisen, delaying the case, and instructed them to return next Monday for the trial to resume.
