He wasn't very...

And we obviously know Christopher O'Neill had other convictions as well prior to this attack on Martin, like the senseless attack.

So a very, very violent individual who obviously seemed to show like no remorse.

But what was it like to hear he had gotten six years for this attack on Martin?

Yeah.

For someone who's unfamiliar with that remission process, could you kind of explain what that is exactly?

And the judge said this was a very serious crime against Martin, but that it didn't seem there was the intention to kill Martin.

But how does your family, I suppose, feel about that?

And, you know, obviously, I suppose that kind of runs us into the next question of like, and you're appealing this decision, obviously, with the file being prepared for the DPP.

So can you kind of explain how you feel about what the judge said?

And I suppose as well, obviously, the nature of the way this was reported at the time, there was kind of an assumption maybe that Martin could have been, you know, drunk getting out of that taxi and it's reporting.

Can you kind of go into detail just about that reporting at the time and how that impacted your family, I guess?

And I suppose, obviously, you know, the grief, I can only imagine the grief and to hear the sentence was, you know, as short as six years for something so senseless for Martin.

And there'll never be obviously a long enough sentence for someone who commits these attacks.

But what would you like to see happen to those who do commit these senseless one punch attacks?

What would you like going forward?

proportionate to the crime that was that was committed and in this case it it absolutely it absolutely isn't and like you've lost your sibling you know you can't you can't bring Martin back yeah um but you do have a petition um yeah and you're looking to obviously appeal to the DPP yeah um can you just tell us a bit about like the petition and where we can find it

I'm sure it's difficult to navigate that as well, going into it, trying to understand.

Yeah, not yet.

But you're looking for as many signatures as possible.
