We know both Peter Bowal, the author of the article, very well.

Peter is asking us "What do you think?"



Mary sent us this from CBC's documentary the 5th estate:  http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/baddayatbarrhead/video.html

It does seem unjust to me. If the two young men were truly intimidated and threatened by this murderer Roszko, then it would be hard to rationalize the kind of sentence they received.

Yes, Miscarriage of Justice......for all involved.

Here is a Fifth Estate interview with Hennesey and Cheeseman (sp?), and an accounting of events leading up to, and including the murders.

You may have already seen it.

There is so much evil;such darkness surrounding this case. It saddens me.
