00:30You're joking me.
00:31She's the reason our marriage broke up.
00:34This is a conflict of interest, isn't it?
00:37I don't know.
00:39Should we complain?
00:40It could go either way.
00:43Hayley needs to get this done with.
00:45It's hanging over.
00:47I suppose.
00:48It doesn't matter who defends Mando.
00:50Their job is to blame Mando.
00:53I think we should say nothing.
00:54It might even go in our favour having her up there.
00:58Let's go in.
01:02Once this is done, you can hire me as your wedding planner.
01:05I might not be walking out of here, but this is done.
01:08Dad, it is a no-brainer.
01:11I could argue your case and win.
01:12Mando's right, Julia.
01:14We have to be realistic.
01:16I am being realistic.
01:17It was an accident.
01:19Look, I'm in that argument.
01:20It's going to be a hard enough day as it is.
01:22Yeah, sorry, May.
01:23Look, it's all good.
01:25Yeah, yeah, you're right, Dad.
01:27You just go on in.
01:28I'm going to wait for Claire.
01:30Yeah, come on, May.
01:30Let's go.
01:33I love you.
01:40Why are you putting us through this?
01:45Change your plea.
01:46You're guilty.
01:48You know you are.
02:01So, it's just myself and Christine who have volunteered as four-person.
02:05You should all take a vote.
02:07Anybody in favour of me, Ryan, raise your hand.
02:15And me when you're ready?
02:20Well, that's decided then.
02:24Who's that handsome man?
02:26Nicola, what are you doing in town?
02:29Well, Claire's away on business and I just fancied some serious Dublin shopping.
02:33Oh, right.
02:34Well, you won't find any designer shops around here.
02:37I took a detour.
02:39Any particular reason?
02:40Oh, look, I had such a crack when you came to Cork.
02:43Come with me.
02:44I'd love to work on work.
02:47Nicola.
02:47Hey.
02:48Hi, how are you?
02:49Are you all right?
02:51Sorry.
02:51Sorry, I don't mean to pry.
02:54You look well anyway.
02:55Oh, well, I hope so.
02:56I had a very expensive facial yesterday.
02:59Well, good.
03:00You deserve it.
03:01You know, you should be looking after yourself.
03:03Listen, do you have any tour groups there?
03:06Um, no.
03:06No, I'm off today.
03:07I'm going to go to the gym.
03:09Do you know that we're low on pizza base?
03:11Yeah.
03:11I'm sorry.
03:12I need to take this.
03:16Sophia.
03:18Listen, uh, you go and look out at the Venus for a couple of hours, could you?
03:23No.
03:23Zoe would be back at two.
03:24Oh, Paul, no.
03:25I said no.
03:26No, it's just, you know, Nicola has an appointment and Clara's out of town and, uh, well, she shouldn't
03:33be on her own.
03:35Oh, you mean?
03:36Yeah, well, just in case she has to make any big decisions.
03:41Is it serious then, Paul?
03:43Let's hope not.
03:47Mr. O'Connor, we are waiting.
03:50How do you plead?
03:52Guilty or not guilty?
04:03Not guilty.
04:04You may be seated.
04:10Mr. Slattery.
04:13Judge.
04:21Members of the jury.
04:23I'm here on behalf of the state to prove to you beyond all reasonable doubt that Mr. Raymond
04:31O'Connell is guilty of the manslaughter of Anthony Collins.
04:35Mr. O'Connell violently punched Mr. Collins in the face, causing his untimely death.
04:43Mr. O'Connell used excessive and disproportionate force.
04:47A vicious, overly aggressive and completely unwarranted punch that stole Mr. Collins' life in an instant.
04:58Let me be very clear.
05:01This was not self-defense.
05:05Mr. O'Connell will offer some spurious reasons as to why the altercation happened.
05:11Let me also be clear.
05:13We are not here to make any judgment on Anthony Collins.
05:18We do not dispute that Mr. Collins was engaged in verbal sparring.
05:25What I will prove is that Mr. O'Connell wanted revenge.
05:30And his erratic, unfounded desire to seek vengeance led to the premature death of Anthony Collins.
05:40It is your job to listen closely to the witnesses and the evidence put before you.
05:47I have no doubt you will arrive at the only logical conclusion.
05:53Anthony Collins is dead.
05:55And Raymond O'Connell is guilty of manslaughter.
06:04Hi, Nicola.
06:06How's life in the sticks?
06:08Ah, fun of blow-ins from Dublin.
06:10I need to double your order if that's okay with you.
06:14Then I'm going to have to raise me prices.
06:16Why?
06:17Because I'm barely making any proper as it is.
06:20And ingredients aren't cheap.
06:21Hang on, surely the bigger the sack of flour, the cheaper it is.
06:25It's nothing to do with you, Nicola.
06:26I'm right, though.
06:29Let me do my own cause, I'll get back to you.
06:32He's turning into a right old grub.
06:35It's the effect you have on people.
06:37Oh, but it's not the effect I have on you.
06:40Well, it used to be, that's for sure.
06:42In fairness, you could be extremely stubborn and annoying.
06:47How about a treat as both a lunch in town?
06:49And we can discuss my more positive qualities, eh?
06:53Hmm.
06:54Well.
06:55Yeah.
06:56Members of the jury.
06:58Good morning.
06:59Good morning.
07:02The fact that Raymond O'Connell hit Anthony Collins
07:05and that the unintended consequence of that punch resulted in Mr Collins' death
07:10is not up for discussion.
07:13That is a fact.
07:16However, it is the circumstances of that incident that you are here to make judgment on.
07:24On the night in question, Raymond O'Connell's mind was far from Mr Collins'.
07:30He was not consumed by a vendetta, as the prosecution would have you believe.
07:36The opposite.
07:39It was during a happy celebration for his daughter that Mr Collins burst in and verbally attacked and assaulted Raymond
07:47O'Connell.
07:48Mr Collins was clearly the aggressor here.
07:52You will hear how various members of the public intervened and tried to persuade Mr Collins to leave the bar,
08:00but he would not stop.
08:02Mr Collins was unstoppable.
08:05Raymond O'Connell's reaction was reasonable in the circumstances.
08:11This is a crystal clear case of self-defence.
08:17We will prove here in this court how Raymond O'Connell feared for his own safety.
08:23He had no choice but to defend himself.
08:28This was a tragic accident.
08:32Pure and simple.
08:36Fact.
08:46Ray, he has to say that.
08:47Okay, it doesn't mean that it's true.
08:50We don't want any comments from you.
08:52How are you doing?
08:56You know, you think I'm prepared for all this, but...
08:59None of us are, Ray.
09:06Thanks.
09:09I'm sorry.
09:12I'm sorry their aunt had to die because of my son.
09:17It's not your fault.
09:19At least he's facing up to it.
09:22Otherwise he'd never rest.
09:25And that has to count for something, doesn't it?
09:28It does.
09:30It does.
09:31It does.
09:38And you called the ambulance because you could clearly see that Mr Collins was lying on the floor, not moving.
09:46Yes.
09:47As a result of being punched hard by Mr O'Connell.
09:52Well, I didn't see the actual punch.
09:55But that is your understanding of what happened.
09:59Yeah, it is.
10:01You called the ambulance.
10:03Who else did you call?
10:06The guards.
10:07Why did you call the guards?
10:10Because you knew a serious crime had occurred.
10:14Objection.
10:14Mr Slattery.
10:18Mr Slattery.
10:44I've been in the nightclub before that.
10:45Impressive.
10:47Your long experience makes you hypervigilant, I expect.
10:53Would you say the scuffle between Mr Collins and Raymond O'Connell was the most violent you've ever seen?
11:00No.
11:01I've seen far worse.
11:03Far worse than a man lying dead.
11:06I didn't mean it like that.
11:10Prior to the incident in question, how would you describe Raymond O'Connell's mood that night?
11:17It was a busy night.
11:18I wasn't concentrating on anybody's mood.
11:21It was a busy night because Juliet, Raymond O'Connell's daughter, was launching a jewellery range.
11:26Is that correct?
11:28Yes.
11:28And it was Halloween.
11:31So it was a night of celebration?
11:33I suppose, yeah.
11:35Everyone was happy.
11:36The bar was filled with excitement and expectation.
11:41Would you agree?
11:43Yeah, I suppose.
11:46Did you witness Raymond giving his daughter a bunch of flowers?
11:51Yes.
11:52The act of a man who was there to enjoy the night and celebrate in his daughter's success.
11:59And at that time, did you witness any hint of aggressive behaviour from Raymond O'Connell?
12:07No.
12:08No.
12:08Were you aware of anything untoward in the bar?
12:12Any altercations, big or small, before Mr. Collins entered and pursued Raymond O'Connell in a violent and aggressive manner?
12:23A simple yes or no will suffice.
12:28No.
12:45Sir, just a recap.
12:47There was no hint of any trouble until Mr. Collins entered and attacked Raymond O'Connell.
12:54Objection.
12:55Leading.
12:56Sustained.
12:58No trouble that you were aware of until Mr. Collins entered and was verbally abusive to the defendant.
13:06I don't know what was going on between.
13:08I heard a row.
13:10I didn't actually see the punch and next thing, Anto was on the ground.
13:14Really?
13:17Because according to a witness statement, you said to Mr. Collins, you're out of order.
13:25You firmly and repeatedly asked a volatile Mr. Collins to leave.
13:30Are you saying that's not true?
13:33No.
13:34So it is true.
13:36Because according to your own statement, you stepped in and you ordered Mr. Collins to leave the premises, but he
13:47would not go.
13:49Mr. Collins was hell-bent in attacking Raymond O'Connell, no matter who tried to stop him.
13:54Is that true, Miss Foley?
13:56Yes or no?
13:59Yes.
14:02So would you say, in your long experience as a bar owner, that Mr. Collins was the aggressor who provoked
14:12Mr. O'Connell into a defensive position?
14:17Yes.
14:20No more questions.
14:22Thank you.
14:24Thank you, Miss Foley.
14:26You may step down.
14:28Court will break for lunch.
14:50There you are.
14:53That bitch is in there, twisting everything.
14:56And you're out here cosying up to Ray?
14:59I'm not going to turn on Ray because of what his son did.
15:02He's in bits.
15:04Our whole family is in bits.
15:05Because of Mondo.
15:08She's calling Da Mr. Collins.
15:10And Mondo is Raymond.
15:12She's trying to decimate Da.
15:14How can you not see that?
15:15Of course I know what she's doing.
15:17I don't want to listen to her tear his life apart.
15:20You're blaming Da.
15:22You think it's his fault he's dead.
15:24Do not say that.
15:26I am behind you and Anto.
15:29Well, it sure doesn't feel like it.
15:39Hayley needs you beside her in the courtroom.
15:41We have to stick together.
15:46Well done, Carol.
15:48You fell for all her tricks.
15:54Carol.
15:56How's it going in there?
15:58Trying to break.
16:00How's Victor's man doing?
16:02Massive heart attack.
16:04So wait and see.
16:05Victor's given evidence on a video link later.
16:09I'll tell him I was asking for him, will you?
16:10Yeah.
16:17What do you think so far?
16:19It's only the first day.
16:22It's really about which barrister is the cleverest of presenting their side.
16:25No, it's about seeing beyond their agenda,
16:28listening to the witnesses and making a judgement that you can rest easy with.
16:32It sounds very noble, but what about those barristers?
16:35Do they even believe in guilt or innocence?
16:37They're not the ones that ever earned the verdict.
16:39We are.
16:42I am having such a lovely day, Paul.
16:45Yeah, it's...
16:46Lunch was a nightmare.
16:48You never told me there was a booking of eight on top of the lunchtime rush.
16:52Well, I'm sure you're up to the challenge.
16:54I was up for a session at the gym.
16:57Waitressing's a fabulous workout.
16:59Then maybe you'll be able to afford to treat yourself as well.
17:02That is not why I did it.
17:05Anyway, how did your hospital appointment go?
17:08What appointment?
17:10I never said we were going to the hospital.
17:12We'd lunch in Malone's Brasserie, then we'd hit the shops.
17:16You were such a liar.
17:18I spent half the afternoon worrying that Nicola was going to get some terrible news.
17:23Yeah, well, you must have misinterpreted the situation.
17:25You know what I mean?
17:26Oh, all right.
17:26So what?
17:27So what?
17:27You mixed up an appointment at the consultant's office for an overpriced slab of steak?
17:32Actually, we both had the fish.
17:34Oh, no.
17:36You're not sick, are you?
17:41Unreal.
17:45Would you agree that when Mr. Collins arrived at the station bar, he was in an angry state of mind?
17:51Yes, I would agree.
17:53And would you agree that Raymond O'Connell seemed to be enjoying himself?
17:57No idea.
17:59But Mr. O'Connell, or Mondo, as we all know him, was in a furious state of mind earlier in
18:05the day.
18:06I was only talking about the night in question.
18:09He might have calmed down by then, but his behaviour earlier was, quite frankly, disgusting.
18:15I didn't ask for your opinion.
18:17He verbally attacked Anto's daughter, reducing her to tears, viciously threatening a new mother.
18:23Did you personally witness this?
18:25Mondo was in a right fury.
18:26That I can tell you.
18:27Take to answering the question.
18:29No wonder Anto was annoyed with him when he found out.
18:32Were you present at the time this happened?
18:34No, I was not.
18:35Hearsay, then.
18:36Plenty of witnesses to his foul temper and aggressive behaviour.
18:40And Mondo was also in the habit of storming into our house and making threats.
18:43I would advise you to be respectful of the court process.
18:48We only have your word for any of this.
18:50I'm surprised you haven't checked out the CCTV from McCoy's.
18:53You have been warned, Miss Lynch.
18:55Or maybe you don't want the jury to hear what Mr. O'Connell is really like.
18:59Again, hearsay.
19:01Grounded in absolutely nothing.
19:04No further questions.
19:06You may step down.
19:10The court will break for ten minutes.
19:13To set up a video link for the next witness.
19:16That should have rung alarm bells at her trial prep.
19:19Maybe you should have heard the notes.
19:21That's got them rattled.
19:29Well, hello, stranger.
19:31Ah, Hughie.
19:32How you doing?
19:33Oh, my God.
19:33It's a bit different from Phelan's corner shop, isn't it?
19:36Yeah, well, the world keeps spinning.
19:38How's life?
19:39Fabulous.
19:40Always the optimist.
19:41How's the hobby?
19:42Clar.
19:43Oh, great.
19:44Great form.
19:45Busy, busy, busy.
19:46Sorry, I have to take this.
19:48Excuse me.
19:48Keep enjoying life.
19:49I intend to.
19:50Yeah.
19:54Clar.
19:55About time you got back to me.
19:56When are you coming around to pick up the rest of your things?
20:00I'm done talking, Clar.
20:03Okay, your golf clubs are in the garage, along with six boxes of your rubbish.
20:08Tell you what, if they're still there when I get home, I'll put them in storage and send you the
20:12bill.
20:12How does that sound?
20:14Text me when it's done.
20:17Hi, Chowice.
20:19Oh, great.
20:20Lucky I remembered.
20:26I understand you suffered badly in the fire at the Rafferty Development building site.
20:32Yes.
20:33I was in hospital for some time.
20:35Your daughter was trapped in that building, which is why you bravely rushed in to save her.
20:41Yes.
20:42Yet you didn't hold a grudge or blame Mr. Collins, did you?
20:46No.
20:47Did your daughter blame Mr. Collins?
20:51No.
20:52Do you know of anyone else, apart from Mr. O'Connell, who held a grudge or held Anthony Collins responsible
20:58for the unfounded and unproven allegation that he started that fire?
21:02No.
21:04No further questions.
21:09So how would you describe the atmosphere on the night of October the 31st in the station bar?
21:16Everyone seems to be in a good mood.
21:18So it was a night of fun and celebration?
21:22Yeah.
21:23So can you tell us what happened when Mr. Collins entered the bar?
21:27Um, I noticed Anto come in.
21:32He was stood there staring at Mondo.
21:36Um, Judy, I was in the middle of a launch speech.
21:38And you noticed this straight away?
21:42Yes.
21:42The bar was packed.
21:44Why would you notice something like that?
21:46Unless there was something about Mr. Collins' demeanour that caught your attention.
21:51He appeared agitated.
21:54And how did he express his agitation?
21:59He was glaring at Mondo.
22:02Um, Mondo came over and asked him to leave.
22:07It was Juliet's big night.
22:09And what happened then?
22:12Anto pushed Mondo.
22:14Was it a hard push or a gentle shove, for example?
22:19Uh, well, Mondo knocked into a table.
22:24There was a crash, like something falling.
22:27And how did you react?
22:29I jumped in between them, you know, to break it up.
22:33And at that moment, how did Mr. Collins appear to you?
22:37He was quite angry.
22:39Did anyone else intervene?
22:41Uh, Carol asked Anto to leave.
22:45Did he leave?
22:47No.
22:48They were both angry.
22:51I was between them by now.
22:54You're a tall man.
22:56You look strong.
22:57But not even you could control Mr. Collins.
23:00Or stop him from attacking Raymond O'Connell.
23:02What happened next?
23:06Juliet finished her speech.
23:08Mondo came back and shoved Anto and asked him again to leave.
23:15Anto reacted.
23:17I got between them again.
23:20Did anyone else intervene at this point?
23:23Verbally, yes.
23:25Carol did.
23:26And so did Anto's wife.
23:30So I thought that was it, and Anto was leaving.
23:32But then he came back.
23:36He pushed Mondo.
23:39And that's when Mondo punched him.
23:44And Anto fell.
23:46So no one in the bar could control Mr. Collins.
23:49Or persuade him to calm down or to leave.
23:55Would you say that Raymond O'Connell had no alternative but to defend himself?
24:02Yes.
24:03I would agree.
24:05In my honest opinion, Mondo was acting in self-defense.
24:13Thank you.
24:15No further questions.
24:20She's using it, Paul.
24:24Actually, Nicola's the only one of my exes who didn't use me.
24:27Are you okay?
24:29They're going to tear Mondo apart today, aren't they?
24:32So you buy it ready-made from the wholesalers, and you mix it with deals, though.
24:36Nobody even noticed the difference.
24:38I begged him to leave my dad alone, but he wouldn't stop until he murdered him.
24:42I understand your anger, but you lied in your statement.
24:45You're the liar, you drunken slut.
