Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch fails in bid to recoup costs from Regency murder trial
Ms Justice Tara Burns said the court was satisfied that an unfairness did not arise for Hutch in the decision to refuse costs
Gerry “The Monk” Hutch has been refused cover for his legal costs after he was found not guilty of murder at the Special Criminal Court.
The state had opposed an application for costs by lawyers for Hutch after he was found not guilty by the non-jury court of the murder of David Byrne at the Regency Hotel in Dublin seven years ago.
