Northern Ireland's Court of Appeal overturned 1991 convictions of three men wrongfully jailed for a 1989 bomb plot due to police misconduct.
The Court of Appeal in Belfast has overturned the 1991 convictions of three men—Declan Murphy, Declan Moen, and Conor Gilmore—wrongly convicted for a 1989 planned bomb attack on a police football team.
The ruling, based on a referral from the Criminal Cases Review Commission, found that deliberate police misconduct and abuse of process tainted the original trial, undermining the fairness of the proceedings.
The court concluded the convictions were unsafe, with two judges citing serious procedural flaws and one calling the police conduct reprehensible.
The men, who have campaigned for justice since their convictions, have now been exonerated, marking a significant moment in the ongoing reckoning with past injustices in Northern Ireland’s legal system.
