The trial of a District Court judge accused of attempting to deceive an elderly man out of half his estate has heard the alleged victim is not suffering from any memory problems. Heather Perrin (60) is accused of tricking Thomas Davis into bequeathing half of his €1 million estate to her two children.

Dominic McGinn SC, prosecuting, asked Mr Davis’s GP, Dr Michael Malone, if Mr Davis was suffering from any memory problems. Dr Malone said that Mr Davis had good mental capacity.
