Dariusz Alchimionek appeals manslaughter conviction

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Dariusz Alchimionek's appeal against his manslaughter conviction was listed in the Court of Appeal on 30 November 2018.

The conviction followed a jury's guilty verdicts for manslaughter and assault causing harm after a collision at Ballycrystal, Co Offaly, on 29 December 2015.

He was sentenced to nine years in prison, with the final three years suspended, in October 2017.

The appeal argues that the jury's verdict was perverse and against the evidence, while the case was listed for 24 January.

The prosecution had not completed inquiries into medical records, and psychiatrists for both sides agreed he met the criteria for a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity.
