00:00I'm Brian Hoadley, I'm with The Courier, and I'm standing outside the bar at Law Courts
00:03where Patrick Stevenson has briefly appeared for a hearing into the alleged murder of Samantha Murphy.
00:09The hearing went for about 10 minutes where prosecution and defence lawyers both asked for an adjournment
00:15so that they could review what was described as an unprecedented amount of evidence
00:20that the police had gathered against Patrick Stevenson.
00:23The defence said they were still yet to receive some CCTV from the police
00:28and that they would be going through that this weekend.
00:31They also described that amount as huge.
00:34Stevenson will next appear in court on the 14th of November for a further committal hearing.
