Justice Ministry to make announcement on Cyber-Ed School shooting today.
When 14-year-old Precious Pearl Ireland died on April 13, as a result of a gunshot wound, her family was left with the scars of loss, grief and a burning desire for justice.
From the public glare, forgiveness did not seem as an option. As the quest for answers to burning questions ensued, regarding how and why, there was an apparent push for Jovanus Oliver Turay, 16, who shot precious, to be charged as an adult by the state and not as a juvenile.
“We are not making a conclusion at the moment because we obviously know that the act was untimely,” said Atty. Maxwell Grisby, an uncle of the deceased days after the shooting. Interestingly, Grigsby, who works as the Chairman of the Liberia National Commission on Small Arms (LiNCSA), said he was speaking only in his capacity as a family member and not as a LiNCSA official.
