O’Doherty appeal of conviction adjourned until October
An appeal by the former journalist Gemma O’Doherty against a District Court conviction arising our of an anti-vaccination protest, has been adjourned until October 17th.
O’Doherty was convicted of threatening and abusive behaviour, resisting arrest, and refusing to give her name and address to a garda, at Bray District Court in Co Wicklow, last September. The charges arose out of an incident which involved the placing of banners on a pedestrian bridge over the N11, Dublin to Wexford road at Kilmacanogue Co Wicklow, in August 2020. She received a two-month suspended sentence and a fine of €750 for the public order offences. She lodged an appeal to Wicklow Circuit Court.
At Wicklow Circuit Court yesterday, solicitor Brendan Moloney for O’Doherty told Judge Patrick Quinn the District Court case last September had lasted a full day. State solicitor Rory Benville also recalled the case had taken up some time and the parties agreed to a date of October 17th for the appeal hearing.
I didnt realise she was back on twitter, and I shouldnt have even looked at her timeline, but I see her new crusade/conspiracy theory is to get Aaron Brady released, the guy convicted of the murder of Garda Adrian Donohoe.
Those who excuse her on the basis that her rantings must prove she is mentally unwell, I couldnt disagree more. Whatever about her being mentally unwell, that doesnt excuse her being an absolute cunt to bereaved families and exploiting suicide deaths as vaccine victims. That sort of shit has nothing to do with being mentally unstable.
