Marie Farrell is a mother and wife who has recanted evidence she gave against Ian Bailey arising from the murder of a French lady who lived in West Cork.
In short she alleges that she gave the false evidence because she was blackmailed ,forced and cajoled into doing so partly because some Gardai took unfair advantage of the fact that she,a married woman ,was in the company of a man who was not her husband on a certain night.
She has been pursued relentlessly by the Barrister representing the State,fully backed up by the presiding judge to reveal the identity of this man.
What the identity of this man has got to do with the alleged false identification of Bailey is beyond me.
It seems to me that it is being used as a stick to beat her with in an attempt to embarrass her and her family and that of the family of the man.
To me the behaviour of the judge and the state legal people is sending out a clear message to everybody who finds themselves in the position she alleges herself to be in as follows :-If you believe you were forced /blackmailed by the State into making false statements don't ever ever try to tell the truth and recant because the State and the Courts will use every scrap of their considerable wealth ,expertise and knowledge to crucify,discredit,humiliate and destroy you.
And there is no depths to which they won't sink to do this.
