In this highly anticipated continuation to Sandra Martins-Toner’s first book “The Last Six Minutes,” the sequel “Cry for Justice” takes Sandra’s readers through the years of being dragged into the convoluted Canadian Criminal Justice System.

Just when the family thought it was over, one of young Matthew’s killers appeals her conviction and is released on bail into the community pending her second trial.

Sandra and her family must face the torment of her release, and the re-victimization from a “System” not interested in the victims. The shocking conclusion to that trial leaves the family crying for justice and a nation stunned.

Matthew’s mother describes in chilling detail her heartache and her will to continue fighting for justice. This book reveals a Judiciary that is a cloistered member’s only group, leaving more victims in its wake.
