Notable Quotes 2
As far as we're aware, it's a landmark verdict. The coroner gave them three options but the jury added a rider which to us was a very important one.
It would probably be better for me to get Brian Kennedy out of my head. But at the same time, being in the MAAD organisation (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) I know that to get anything changed we have to take this case. My antagonism is not towards Brian Kennedy, it's towards the system. It's not a vengeance thing for us. Obviously it's going to be very expensive, we'd have to fund it ourselves and there's no guarantee we'd win.
