LAWYERS for gangland criminal “Fat” Freddie Thompson have argued that his conviction for the murder of David “Daithi” Douglas should be overturned due to the lack of records on how he was identified by gardai from CCTV footage.
Mr Douglas, 55, a father-of-one, was shot six times as he had lunch at a counter in his partner’s shop, Shoestown, on Bridgefoot Street in Dublin on July 1, 2016.
Thompson, 42, of Loreto Road, Maryland, Dublin, had pleaded not guilty to his involvement in the murder of Mr Douglas but was jailed for life at the the Special Criminal Court in August 2018.
