Did the police push David Lyttle into a false confession? Or did they just give him an opportunity to tell the truth?
The police get their confession. But can we believe it?

Convicted murderer David Lyttle continues to deny he killed his friend Brett Hall almost a decade ago. A jury last year found Lyttle guilty and he was sentenced to a minimum non-parole period of 11 years. Jonathan Mitchell reports.
In 2013 David Lyttle and Eddie Lee wrote a Suite called the Barinthus Suite and it world premiered at the Hawks Well, who commissioned it. Inspired by Sligo's Neolithic landscape, it featured some internationally renowned jazz and trad musicians.I interviewed Eddie a few weeks ago you can listen here - https://www.buzzsprout.com/1100048/5305732-s1-ep19-eddie-lee-musician-photographer.mp3?blob_id=21462037&download=trueHere is some more about Eddie that he shared with me for our previous podcast As a pro musician of more than 3 decades, I've guested on a Grammy-nominated Enya album, toured and recorded with artists on several continents across many genres of music, including NoCrows, Dervish, Those Nervous Animals, Stockton's Wing, A Woman's Heart and the Pale. In 2013 I sang in Ennio Morricone's choir for his Irish concerts and was commissioned to co-write a suite of music by the Hawks Well Theatre and appeared in Ken Loach's Jimmy's Hall as a jazz musician. Each July I have been instrumental in bringing the best jazz musicians on the planet to Sligo to teach and perform at Sligo Jazz Project's annual summer school and festival. I enjoy travelling through my music career and it's probably this I really miss the most during the current pandemic. More recently I have explored my love for photography and the landscape of my home county Sligo in particular. In the lockdown period I have been studying and learning about various aspects of photography and with the uncertainty surrounding the entertainment business hope to forge a career as a photographer over the coming months and years L, branching out into portrait work as well as my landscape and Milky Way/night Sky work. I have also been doing a Wednesday night jazz & world music show on radiosligo.com

Days after his thirteenth birthday, guitarist Andreas Varady recorded his debut studio album for David Lyttle’s Lyte Records. Dates at at The Montreux Jazz Festival and Ronnie Scott’s in London quickly followed. As did a management deal with Quincy Jones. His first Verve release featured guest turns from Gregory Porter and the late Roy Hargrove. This year, the now 21-year-old released his third CD, “The Quest”. None of this seems to have gone to the young man’s head - he’s back living with the parents in Limerick city, Ireland…
