Marek Puska was entitled to remain silent after murder of Ashling Murphy, defence counsel tells court
Briefly

During the trial regarding the murder of Ashling Murphy, it was argued that Marek Puska, the brother of the accused Jozef Puska, withheld information from authorities not to shield his brother but to protect himself from potential self-incrimination. The defense attorney, Karl Finnegan, asserted that Marek was entitled to remain silent and that his actions should not be interpreted as evidence of guilt or wrongdoing concerning Jozef.
"Marek Puska's decision to withhold information during the investigation was an act of self-protection, not an indication of guilt regarding his brother."
"Defense counsel emphasized that Marek was acting in his own interest and was within his rights to remain silent to avoid self-incrimination."
