A teacher who claims her arm was broken by a garda in a Galway station could not have sustained that fracture prior to being placed in handcuffs on the street, a doctor told the High Court.
Orthopaedic consultant at University Hospital Galway Michael O’Sullivan told a judge and jury that then 23-year-old Denise Callinan could not have sustained her broken left humerus while being arrested and placed in handcuffs without displaying significant pain at the time.
