Jury Deadlocks in Limerick Robbery Trial; Wayne Williams Remains on Bail

In a surprising turn of events, a jury in Limerick was discharged this Friday after failing to reach a verdict in the trial of Wayne Williams, accused of robbing a security van driver of birdseed, hand sanitizer, and a water condenser. The incident occurred near a shop car park in Annacotty, County Limerick, with the driver, Frank Butler, describing being attacked by a masked man who demanded cash but ended up taking the shopping instead. The defense denied the charges throughout the trial. After just over three hours of deliberations, the jury was deadlocked, and Judge Colin Daly discharged them, setting the case for a review in July. Williams remains on bail and will return to court then, leaving the robbery charge unresolved as preparations for a possible retrial begin.
