Judgment at Nuremberg dates back to 1961, yet remains a most compelling movie, starring the impeccable Spencer Tracy. It speaks to the difficulties and responsibilities facing judges in arriving at a just, fair verdict. The old adage still holds true, “never second guess a judge”.

It took the guts of a full working day before they dismissed the charge, and the Leinster player was free to go. Irrespective of what the final written judgment will say, it’s unlikely that we will hear the full detail of everything which transpired.
