Families lament news of possible appeal in Mountie killing case
You know, I have to admit I had not really followed the details of this case that closely beyond the fact that there had been a horrible tragedy and loss of life.
The Fifth Estate ran documentary and interview with Shawn Hennessey and his wife a few nights ago, and I came away from that deeply disturbed about how this case was dealt with.
After seeing that program, and seeing and hearing the accused tell his side of the story, I can't help but feel that this is a situation that got out of control with no malice or forethought on the part of the two accused men... perhaps some stupidity and lack of forsight, but I'm not sure what any one of us would have done in their shoes... there was certainly opportunity for them to call the cops and try to put a stop to this before it happened... but ... and imo, this is a very large BUT: hindsight is 20/20.
If you haven't seen the episode of the Fifth Estate I'm referring to, you can catch it here.
I'd like to hear from you if you've watched it - if you had an opinion about this case prior to seeing this interview has it changed? Do you think they should be sentenced with 15 and 12 years respectively?
