Wayne Cooney, 31, with an address at Glenshane Drive in Tallaght, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of 22-year-old Jordan Davis at a laneway near a school in Darndale in north Dublin on 22 May 2019.The prosecution alleges that Mr Cooney approached Mr Davis on a bicycle at 4pm on 22 May outside Darndale Church and shot him three times as Mr Davis was pushing his four-month-old son in a pram.
Prosecuting Counsel Bernard Condon has told the jury that the ultimate inference he is asking them to draw is that the person who fired eight bullets, three of which catastrophically injured Mr Davis, is Mr Cooney. He told them the circumstances were such that there was no alternative view that was rational, sensible or based on evidence other than that Mr Cooney was the killer.
He said the catalogue of coincidences and strange events that had collided in this case were such that either Mr Cooney was responsible or he was the most unlucky person ever. Mr Condon said the case was based predominantly on circumstantial evidence. He has been outlining what he described as a series of"extraordinary" coincidences to the jury.It is likely they will begin considering their verdict tomorrow.
