flag Irish law professor Diarmuid Phelan on trial for murder, eyewitness translation error complicates defense of self-defense.

In Ireland, law professor Diarmuid Phelan is on trial for the murder of Keith Conlon, shot on his farm in 2022. A translation issue arose regarding eyewitness testimony, where the French term "énervé" was inaccurately translated as "really pissed off," leading to confusion about Phelan's intent. The defense claims self-defense, while the prosecution argues he intended to kill. The trial continues as legal discussions about the translation are addressed.
