A Kerry man accused of importing half a ton of crystal meth will not go on trial for at least another two weeks. James Leen, 44, of Kilmorna, Listowel, is charged with five offences in the non-jury Special Criminal Court. Prosecutors allege he directed the activities of a criminal organisation, as well as the importation and possession of half a ton of crystal meth. A pre-trial hearing this morning focused on data from devices seized by gardaí during the investigation. Defence senior counsel Colm Smyth said a digital expert hired by the defence was not given all the data from the devices. Smyth alleged the State may have deleted material before handing over the device data. Senior counsel for the DPP, John Berry, rejected that, saying the defence has now been provided with the original data. Berry said the dispute centres on one device seized from a relative of Leen’s co-accused, Nathan McDonnell, which the prosecution says is not even relevant. He said the original data has been sent to the defence and analysis should be able to begin shortly. The case was adjourned until next Monday, with an update due on whether the trial can begin the following Monday, November 23rd. Leen previously pleaded not guilty to all five charges. The trial is expected to last up to six weeks.
