Thomas McCarthy, who was fatally shot by gang member Cailean Crawford in front of his mother four-and-a-half years ago, received justice as Crawford was sentenced to life in prison. McCarthy’s family continues to seek answers regarding the motive behind his murder. Judge Tony Hunt condemned Crawford for his perjury and described McCarthy as a decent man. The court revealed the involvement of organized crime in the case, with Crawford previously denying his culpability. McCarthy was shot seven times at his mother’s home during a visit to Ireland.
