"Prosecutor Charles MacCreanor KC stated, 'If you were innocent and thought you could explain .. would you not give evidence?' highlighting McCullagh's decision not to testify."
"The six-hour long gaming stream that McCullagh claimed as an alibi was shown to be pre-recorded several days prior to the murder."
Stephen McCullagh was convicted of murdering Natalie McNally, who was 15 weeks pregnant at the time. The prosecution argued that he set up a false alibi by livestreaming a video gaming session on YouTube, which was later revealed to be pre-recorded. Prosecutor Charles MacCreanor KC noted McCullagh's choice not to testify during the trial, questioning the innocence of someone who would not defend themselves. McCullagh showed no emotion upon hearing the verdict.
