dbpprop:abstract
  • Nora Wall (formerly Sister Domimic of the Sisters of Mercy) is a former Irish nun who was convicted of rape in June 1999, and officially declared the victim of a miscarriage of justice in December 2005. Wall was the first woman in the history of the Irish State to be convicted of rape, the first person to receive a life sentence for rape and the only person in the history of the State to be convicted on Repressed memory evidence. Her co-accused Pablo McCabe was a homeless schizophrenic man. In relation to one of the two rape allegations, the Defense was able to prove that McCabe could not possibly have been there on the date in question. The jury simply acquitted him on that count and convicted him (and Nora Wall) on the second rape charge. On 1 December 2005 the Court of Criminal Appeal in Ireland certified that Nora Wall had been the victim of a miscarriage of justice. Pablo McCabe had died in December 2002.
