“I just like writing letters really”
> because she felt the need to offer support to Ormond.
If that’s all she felt she’d have written a letter to the killer, not the judge.
Her reason for writing the letter is just horseshit. She knew was she was writing and she knew what it implied whether it explicitly stated it or not. If she wanted to get the effect she says she wanted, there was no need to write that letter.
Restorative justice in this case? Is she for fucking real? The man mowed an elderly lady down and fled the scene like a coward. If that happened to someone I loved I know the justice I’d want
>**It is understood Ruane’s letter did not provide Ormond with a character reference.**
>Speaking to *The Journal*, Ruane said she **“in no way” made any suggestions around sentencing or lenient sentencing in her letter.**
>**“I did not seek or reference any outcome in sentencing in my communication to court.**
Ok, fair enough. So what was in the letter?
>She said her letter made a reference to the benefits of restorative justice, but that it added that she “acknowledges and respects the family’s right to decline”.
>Restorative justice is an approach to justice that focuses on repairing the harm caused by crime or conflict, rather than solely on punishment.
That’s nice, but what’s the point, if she didn’t make any suggesting around sentencing or lenient sentencing in her letter? Did you think the judge in the case wasn’t aware of the principle of restorative justice and just wanted to, you know, flag it to them?
Why not publish the letter she sent?
Release the letter and be done with it
Ahh sure kill someone
Go around a few gobshites TD and senators to get letters to say you are sorry to get a nice handy term
She is just the latest in a long line who want to support the scumbags in Ireland
Then I’m sure the senator will have no issue releasing the letter to the public/press.
Load of shite. It was clearly intended to be used in mitigation of the convicted guy, it doesn’t matter if it didn’t call expressly for leniency.
Ormond, of Deerpark Place, Kiltipper Road, Tallaght, Dublin 24, had 53 previous convictions. These include 24 road traffic offences, including one for dangerous driving from 2002.
Once again our courts fail to enforce the law and protect us.
Bit odd that folks are so against the suggestion of restorative justice as the family of the victim would benefit from it.
If she had nothing to hide release the letter in full, otherwise as it stands she backed a POS who killed a pensioner to hell with her
That’s some litany of past driving offences. At some point do we not think of taking licences off people? Ideally before they kill someone speeding at a red light.
They are all the same. Doesn’t matter what flag is flown, humans be humans …
