20x20: The Belfast Rape Trial
20x20: The Belfast Rape Trial
Today on Newstalk we are continuing with our 20 x 20 topic, where we look at the 20 most influential moments of the last 20 years. This topic divided the nation back in 2018 and raised valuable questions over how we conduct rape trials in this country, it is the Belfast Rape Trial.
The trial embroiled top Rugby players, with the accused Paddy Jackson, Stuart Olding, Blane McIlroy and Rory Harrison, who after 42 days, 30 witnesses, two snow storms, one Six Nations and three hours and 40 minutes of jury deliberations, were acquitted on all counts.
Noleen Blackwell joined Claire on air to discuss the impacts of this ground breaking trial.
