I sat in court for some of the original trial for Puska. All 5 of the people sentenced today were there supporting Puska (who was convicted of butchering 23 year old beautiful Ashling Murphy). Along with many other family members of his. They laughed and joked during breaks. The two bothers stared and leered at me and other women like we were meat. How were they even allowed to be there when they were all his Co accused? Every evening, when they would all leave, we would be walking behind them past the Ashling hotel. There, her name was up in lights, shining like a beacon in the face of the evil below. They never looked at the name or looked like they had a care in the entire world. Sentences of between 20 months and 2 years for destroying blood covered clothing and hiding a murderer so he could not be apprehended. They’ll serve half or less. They could have all been given 5 years (still not enough), so why weren’t they? Why are they not also subject to deportation orders? No one, of course, is really talking about this today, which suits the state nicely (everyone talking about the protest at City West). A very timely distraction to deflect from the reminder of another case where an Irish female was a victim of open borders. Puska had a criminal record. For rape. He was also a suspect in two sexual crimes in two other countries before coming here. This lot will never contribute anything meaningful to our society and likely never have. They will be out soon, like nothing ever happened. Puska’s wife continues to stand by him. Thoughts and prayers with Ryan Casey and Ashling’s family, friends, community, and the school children she taught. S.Delaney
