WHEN Shaun Armstrong’s claim for compensation is heard in the Royal Court of Justice in London, I hope they appreciate what justice is about!

Surely they should realise – if they are not brain-dead – to set in motion a chain of events that could lead to, in effect, a bounty for the killer who sexually abused and then killed three-year-old Rosie Palmer!

It’s still a free country so I am surprised that anyone can be found to work on behalf of a monster like Shaun Armstrong, who claims his human rights have been infringed.
First of all he does not qualify as a human being. Secondly, what human rights did he extend to little Rosie?

Though when his trial came up he had every right to a defence and for that to be paid for by the public, this case of him trying to sue author Bernard O’Mahoney is a different matter entirely and we the public should not be expected to pay for that!

Any self-respecting solicitor or barrister ought to say “I want no part of something that can lead to a bounty for a creature like Shaun Armstrong.”

It remains to be seen what the Royal Court of Justice will come up with, but I will be surprised if it shows any common sense!

Although when Armstrong was let out of hospital saying he would kill, the law failed to protect little Rosie at that point, now the law seems bent on protecting and rewarding her killer!
