## Resource

A Garda Inspector Tom Quinn has told of the effects of a dog attack on his career, reputation and promotional ability in an extraordinary court case involving criminal Edward 'Blondie' Stokes and an altered video about an incident at his property. In a case that took eight years to come to court, Stokes pleaded guilty to a range of charges after evidence proved he set his dog on the Garda. Nicola speaks with Crime World's Eamon Dillon about Stokes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
