“Manslaughter acquitted Padraig Nally says he now wants gardai to return the gun he used to kill burglar John ‘Frog’ Ward. The Mayo farmer has demanded the return of his shotgun, claiming he is living in fear of being attacked at his home again. Mr Nally (64) was cleared of manslaughter after shooting dead Traveller Mr Ward, who he caught breaking into his home four years ago. He now maintains: ‘Everyone is saying I should have a gun.’ Mr Nally said he was informed at the time of the trial that he would not be allowed to have a firearm again under any circumstances, but had since been told he was now entitled to one because of his acquittal.” (06/23/08)
