Murder trial of Alan Harte to begin on Friday

Summary

A 40‑year‑old man, Alan Harte, will stand trial for the murder of Anthony Rogers, 61, who was killed at Rogers' Dublin 8 home on 6 November 2016. Harte, who lives at Island Quay Apartments, East Wall, was charged with the killing at Robinson's Court, Cork Street. He appeared before the Central Criminal Court on 14 April 2021, wearing a blue shirt and black trousers, and pleaded not guilty. The judge, Michael White, explained that trial dates are uncertain because the courtroom must be free and jury deliberations must finish. The trial is scheduled to begin on Friday morning before Justice Alexander Owens and is expected to last seven days. A jury of seven men and five women was sworn in, and the judge instructed them to consider only the evidence presented in court, avoiding external research. The case will be heard in the Central Criminal Court.
