justice for john butler
Signed,
Monica Butler
my family and friends were denied justice for our son a father .cousin friend employee and a member of our community .john butler in my opinion the flippant excuse of siting inability to remember the vital evidence needed to convict cecil lynch and jerry ross is intolerable it shows a blatant lack of respect for the justice system the laws of ours land society and human morality it further more shows a complete lack of respect for my son who was a young father and a precious life in himself and was left to die on gurranabraher road barrick building blarney street our lives has been devastated by the loss of our son my grandson have very few memories of his dad as he was just 3 years old when he was robbed of his father he is now a young man and we as adults are still unable to explain to him as a young boy about the legal issues arising from the killing of his innocent dad it is very difficult to a young child that despite that fact something very wrong has been done no one has faced legal consequences such as prison my son.s childhood friend further went on to take his own life as a result of the grief and injustice he felt resulting my son.s murder and the collapested court of those who were responsible john.s extended family has also been left heartbroken on june 2008 my husband willingly gave up his battle against his grief.despair and injustice and took his own life in his dying words he hoped I would be consoled with the though he would now be with our son john all over a burger at a local takeway?
