Reaction: John White:Det Sgt John White last night described the findings of Mr Justice Frederick Morris as "perverse". The judge found in the Burnfoot module that the detective sergeant had planted a firearm on a halting site.
He found that he planted an explosive, or had someone do it for him, on a telecommunications mast near Ardara in another report.
Asked about the reports, Det Sgt White said: "If that is the case, and I accept that it is, then his findings are perverse. Judge Morris's findings are perverse. I do not know how he could possibly come to that conclusion. There is absolutely no corroboration."
Det Sgt White told RTÉ Television News there was no evidence of any person of any kind linking him with that device. "When I was arrested in June 2001, I was left sitting in an empty room for 8½ hours when no one questioned me.
"During that period, and the 48 hours I was detained, if the Carthy team suspected for one moment, in the slightest way, that I put that device in the mast, there was actually a responsibility on them to question me. They did not do so. No one ever accused me of putting that device in the mast."
