The change would prove critical.
voice-verified
Neither the Gillespie family nor the wider public knew it yet.
voice-verified
But the new law had opened a door that Gallagher would eventually walk through.
voice-verified
Twenty years after the murders, the Gillespie family were still waiting for a sense of justice that had never arrived.
voice-verified
As relatives prepared for a commemorative mass in Stranaler in two thousand eight, Anne's uncle spoke publicly about the family's frustration.
voice-verified
He said We have gone through all the emotions heartache, pain, bitterness, anger.
voice-verified
We were even afraid at one stage that Gallagher might still be a danger to the rest of us.
voice-verified
Thank God the passage of time has eased the bitterness, but the pain never goes away.
voice-verified
I think it will always be with us until justice is done, but that doesn't seem likely.
voice-verified
He described the profound sense of injustice that had lingered for two decades.
voice-verified
It's as if we are the guilty ones.
voice-verified
We are the ones being punished.
voice-verified
We have lived with the loss of our loved ones every day, while he walks around as free as any of us, as if this terrible crime had never happened.
voice-verified
Because he hasn't spent a single day in prison, and because he is now apparently a free man.
voice-verified
We feel we will never get justice.
voice-verified
That's hard to live with.
voice-verified
He also reflected on another tragedy.
voice-verified
Five months before Anne and Annie were killed, Sarah Tarpy had been murdered by her partner at Sligo General Hospital before he turned the gun on himself.
voice-verified
I often thought it was quite possible that Gallagher was influenced by the earlier tragedy.
voice-verified
He actually made some reference about it to Anne when she tried to end their relationship.
