Derry Magistrate's Court
A local man has pleaded not guilty at his arraignment before Derry Crown Court to causing the death of a man by dangerous driving.
Members of the dead man's family were both in court and on video link for the arraignment of Thomas Irvine Barton (64) from Sperrin Park in the Waterside area of the city.
He replied "not guilty" to a charge that he caused the death of Stanley Morton by driving dangerously along the Glenshane Road on July 2, 2022.
Judge Roseanne McCormick said given that the incident happened in 2022, she was "anxious to move the case forward".
Defence barrister Sean Doherty said that discussions have already taken place between the prosecution and defence.
