At the start of the fifth day of the trial yesterday, Fortune was rearraigned following legal discussions between the parties. The court heard victim impact statements will also be heard on that date. She told the court she heard her father scream at Gerard to get out of the room before David hit him. The court heard that after the stabbing, Fortune jumped through the front window and hijacked a car on Rutland Grove and drove to Blanchardstown Hospital. The court heard from several witnesses that the accused enjoyed a very good relationship with his father.
