Court hears claims man jailed for handling pipe bombs wrongly denied proper chance to explain he was innocently putting up flags

Noel Logan is asking the Court of Appeal to overturn his conviction for possessing explosives with intent to endanger life. His lawyer argued that police misled him about the strength of DNA evidence linking him to pipe bombs that exploded outside homes in Derry, and that he was not given a fair chance to explain he had been putting up flags. The blasts occurred between 2017 and 2019.
