In regards to Shawn Hennessey Dennis Cheesman We are asking that the Minister of Justice please release Shawn Hennessey And Dennis Cheeseman immediately from prison.These two men are presently serving 15 and 12 years for crimes they had no idea were going to happen. March 3 2005 four police officers lost their lives in Mayerthorpe . The 2 men that are in prison had zero idea what James Rosko was about do.He did the killings 10 hours after the boys dropped him off at his mothers house.Shawn has never to this day said he heard this madman say he was going to hurt anyone.It took a several million dollar (Mr Big Sting)to get a false confession from Dennis Cheeseman.These boys only walked into a courtroom to plea guilty to a manslaughter charge for one reason.Their council advised them that if they never agreed to plea guilty to a manslaughter charge(even though they knew they were inocent)they would face life sentences for capital murder.They were told the crown would possibly give them the mininum sentence which could have them home within a year if they agreed to the agreed statement of facts and plea guilty of manslaughter.Later it was said by the crown that they had insufficent evidence against them on capital murder charges to get a conviction.Their council should of gone to trial, and all we ask is these 2 boys get a fair day in court.Please release them and set a trial date. They now have lawyers they have faith in and that believe in them.Dont let this matter get any further out of control than it already is.Please release them immediately

This whole case is a disgrace. They were young and coerced into a plea they didnt understand. Let them go home!

Lawyers failed them big time. They deserve a real trial after all these years.

The mr big operation is so corrupt. How can they hold them for something they didnt even know was gonna happen? So wrong.

The crown knew they had nothing so they tricked these boys into pleading. Disgusting behavior. Release them.

When the lawyers 'advising' these two young men appear in associations with 'Liberal partisans'; when the presiding 'legal professional' over the RCMP, William Elliott, is a former Conservative cohort of Brian Mulroney during not only the trial of these two men but also in the time when the farce of the 'public inquiry' of 2011 occurred; when the public record is that Liberals and Conservatives promote their own partisan friends into our courts, how can we say that this farce was no lesser a travesty of justice than what happened inside the courts of nations like Germany, Libya and other oppressive nations where the positioned partisans define what will or will not be allowed into 'the institutions of justice' as evidence, no matter what the laws protecting the premise of truth and justice over all other things. This is a tragedy that was avoidable. Unfortunately, a society that is eager to smoke dope and drink beers falls into incompetent silence to their own hypocrisies. I do not use drugs of any kind BUT there is not just a complete silence to the role of partisan influences in the actions against another couple of citizens who are denied the mechanism of full defense considering all of the facts. When the record then becomes that former BC 'Attorney Generals' appear in public saying that Marijuana should be legalized AFTER they stayed silent to this position when they were in positions of power able to remove the issue that created James Roszko's position of power in the first place, then the silence of a citizenry to the complete lack of moral character in their own silence is as much a travesty as is the immoral and illegal conduct of partisan lawyers. After all, paid or unpaid in any specific case, the 'legal profession' is ultimately responsible to the principle that, when the Liberal faction can be criticized for failing to provide sufficient training and resources and then the Conservative faction makes this case a cause celebre, they MUST be able to pro
