One simple phone call by these two guys:
EDMONTON - Almost four years ago, Shawn Hennessey and Dennis Cheeseman gave ranting, cop-hating James Roszko a weapon and a ride to the spot where Mounties were tearing apart Roszko's pot farm.
On Monday they stood to face Justice Terry Macklin in the dead hush of Court of Queen's Bench and paid the price.
"James Roszko would never have been able to commit these murders without the help of these accused," Crown prosecutor David Labrenz told Macklin.
"The two accused might as well have been inside the Quonset pulling the trigger themselves."
I saw the RCMP getting ready for the memorial, I saw wave after wave of RCMP in red serge, it was shocking to me. All those officers, converging on Edmonton to mourn 4 of their own who had fallen, because of one deranged man. Now we have confirmation that two others helped him murder those 4 Mounties.
They did not pull the trigger, but they enabled the killer to do it. All it would have taken is one phone call from those involved to stop it.
Just one call, to save 4 RCMP officers. Such a small thing, one call.
