Story of the investigation & trial of the infamous Nevin murder, told by the Garda superintendent in charge of the case, as well as details of his efforts to publicise reports on Judge Donnacha OBuachalla, investigated for his preferential treatment of Catherine Nevin. The trial & conviction of Catherine Nevin for her role the murder of her husband Tom monopolised the attention of the country for weeks.
