Say Nothing: Marian Price to sue Disney over murder scene

Peter Corrigan, a solicitor at Phoenix Law, said: “Our client has been publicly connected with the murder of the innocent mother Jean McConville.

“This allegation is unfounded in all respects.”

Mr Corrigan claimed the scene showing Mrs McConville’s murder was created for “the purposes of theatrical elaboration”.

He said Ms Price was not involved.

“It is illustrated by the fact the police didn’t even arrest her for this offence because there was not reasonable suspicion of her involvement.”

Mr Corrigan added: “Given the context, it is difficult to envisage a more egregious allegation than the one to which has been levelled against our client.

“As someone who has been involved at every level of the related Boston College criminal proceedings, it is clear that the instant allegation is not based on a single iota of evidence.”

The allegations, he said, are not only “unjustified they are odious insofar as they seek to cause our client immeasurable harm in exchange for greater streaming success”.

“Our client has now been forced to initiate legal proceedings to hold Disney to account for their actions,” he said.
