Conor McGregor’s Appeal Erodes Amidst Rape Case & Political Speculation
The Court of Appeal has upheld the civil jury’s finding against Conor McGregor in the case brought by Nikita Hand, dismissing all grounds of his appeal. McGregor’s appeal centered on the trial judge’s handling of the jury’s instructions and evidence related to his “no comment” responses. The court found the trial judge’s instructions to the jury were clear and that McGregor had failed to demonstrate an unfair trial, and ordered McGregor to pay Ms. Hand’s legal costs. Additionally, the court has referred a matter of potential perjury related to withdrawn evidence to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
