What a farce of a court case. There will definitely be a movie made out of this one. The evidence is all computer based, so therefore I believe she may be aquitted on those grounds. Who knows?

Haven't read about this, is this actually about someone advertising their killing service online?

I hope they throw the book at her
Ah I remember that. Honestly read one or two reports and got bored with the case. TV has ruined my ability to concentrate on....I think I would like orange juice actuallyQuote:

Definitely high on the Richter scale for juicy details. The email addresses are great too.
Did the Gardai extradite the "hitman" or did they catch him here?
I think there was also an Irish soldier who gave evidence saying he signed up at the web site "for a laugh" as he thought it was a game?
From what I've heard of the case, she's guilty of plotting the murder. I heard a hilarious claim from her lawyer's that no murder plot had been made.
The case is so odd. The guy that was set to be killed seems to be a bit of a strnage fellow himself and I wonder what will happen between those two after the case.
I'd love to have had time to sit in court for this one, it's the most entertaining thing in the Irish courts system in years.
Seems the jury are trying to drag this out too as they have been discharged for a second night although apparently some have holidays booked so might need to wrap it up soon. :pQuote:

Ms Collins also denies hiring Mr Eid to kill the three men.
Mr Eid denies demanding €100,000 from Robert Howard to cancel the contracts.
:confused:
I was also worried about the husbands reaction that she "loves me too much to have me killed". Hello, wakey wakey!!
He's her partner, not her husband. I thought the whole thing of calling Gerry Ryan to give evidence was bizarre- he basically said he didn't read e-mails she'd sent to the show. So...??Quote:

You couldn't make this stuff up. :eek:

He is either really clever (if I was a hitman would I really use such an obvious email address?) or really dumb (self explanatory).Quote:

Must be difficult for the jury with so many different charges.
Decided
* Collins guilty of conspiracy to murder
* Collins guilty of soliciting hit man to kill Howard & sons
* Eid guilty of extortion
* Eid guilty of handling stolen goods
* Eid not guilty of breaking into office
Undecided
* Eid up on charges of conspiracy to murder
Strange Eid not guilty of breaking & entering but guilty of handling stolen goods (i think they came from the office)
Surely Eid's missus was up to her neck in it too- how come she walks? All together now 'You can't hide your lyin eyes'...:DQuote:
