Maolra Seoighe

Maolra Seoighe (English: Myles Joyce) was an Irish man who was wrongfully convicted and hanged on 15 December 1882. He was found guilty of the Maamtrasna Murders and was sentenced to death. Though Seoighe could only speak Irish, the case was heard in English without any translation service. He was posthumously pardoned in 2018.
