A man has appeared in court charged with the manslaughter of Aaron Law in Portglenone
BBC News NI North-East ReporterMr Law, 34, from the Portglenone area, was found lying unconscious in Main Street on Sunday.Fergal Gerard Doherty, a former captain of the Derry GAA senior county football team, appeared in court on Thursday.
A detective sergeant said the victim was being "escorted" out of the premises and had a verbal altercation with a doorman. "A member of the public who was sober arrived and noticed he was in need of assistance," the detective said. He told the court his client wept during police interviews, "was extremely distressed" and "wants to offer his sympathies" to Mr Law's family.
The defence barrister said he felt it was "as obvious a case of self-defence" as he had come across, saying his client "ought never to have been charged".
