Jury to decide if law professor Diarmuid Phelan murdered Keith Conlon in self-defense or accidentally.

A jury in Diarmuid Phelan's murder trial is being instructed to consider three verdicts: murder, manslaughter, or not guilty. Phelan, a law professor, is accused of fatally shooting Keith 'Bono' Conlon on his farm in 2022. The prosecution claims Phelan intended to kill or seriously injure Conlon, while the defense argues it was an accident during self-defense. The jury must determine if Phelan had an honest belief that he needed to defend himself and if the force used was reasonable.
