You can kill a man and walk free, not even a single night in prison . Just a slap on the wrist and a ticket to carry on with your life, like nothing ever happened.
“It’s a joke and it’s morally corruptive. Rather than trying to fix our broken system, they all turn a blind eye. Shame on Dean Harte but more so shame on everyone involved in this process who contributed to the heartbreaking outcome for my family today”."I miss my brother. There are times where I hear from his kids, my nephews, and it upsets me,” he shared on Nicky Byrne's podcast.
