THE jury in the Adrian Donohoe murder trial will begin hearing closing speeches tomorrow almost six months after the trial began. Defence counsel Michael O'Higgins SC is then due to give his closing speech on Monday on behalf of the accused, Aaron Brady (29), who denies capital murder. Mr Justice White said he will give his charge to the jurors which will deal with specific legal principles as well as summarising the evidence in a neutral way. Mr Justice White also thanked the jury for their patience and tolerance, describing it as the "most exceptional" he had ever come across. Earlier, Inspector John Moroney was recalled in relation to claims made against him by Mr Brady while the accused was giving evidence last week.
