Irish Independent July 23, 2003 McKevitt's lawyers apply to stop trial  Diarmaid Mac Dermott and Liz Walsh LAWYERS for alleged Real IRA leader Michael McKevitt yesterday applied at the Special Criminal Court for his trial to be halted.  The application followed claims that the defence case has been "irreparably damaged" because documents relating to the evidence of key witness, FBI agent David Rupert, were not disclosed until after he had left the stand.  Mr McKevitt's counsel, Hugh Hartnett SC, told the court the documents showed inconsistencies in Mr Rupert's proposed evidence regarding a meeting of the Real IRA Army Council in Co Louth in 2000 and his actual evidence.
