Thu 01 Jan 2008Jury takes 21 minutes to find Gibbs not guilty of
murder
It took the Central Criminal Court jury just 21 minutes to
decide that Dr Lynn Gibbs was not guilty by
reason of insanity for the murder of her 16-year-old daughter
Ciara at Killure, Co Kilkenny, on November 25th, 2006.
It is only the second occasion on which such a verdict has been
reached under the 2006 Criminal
Law (Insanity) Act. Dr Gibbs will be held in the Central
Mental Hospital until an order is obtained under the Act for her
release.
