A jury in Cork fails to reach a verdict in the trial of a teenager accused of the murder of postman Barry Daly. The case is heard in relation to events dating to October 12, 2015, when Daly is killed in Co Cork. The accused is 17 at the time of trial proceedings. During the proceedings, the court also hears that the boy and another defendant, Alex Deady (21), enter guilty pleas to manslaughter in connection with Daly’s death, as reported by The Irish Times. Other coverage states that the teenager remains charged with murder and that the trial runs before a jury. The jury is unable to agree on a verdict, resulting in a failed deliberation. The available reports do not set out the next procedural steps or whether a retrial is ordered. The trial’s outcome therefore stands at an impasse following jury deliberations, with manslaughter pleas noted in one account.
