THE LAST SIX MINUTES: A Mother's Loss & Quest for Justice

by Sandra Martins-Toner

AASPIRATIONS PUBLISHING | August 23, 2009 | Trade Paperback

“The Last Six Minutes”- A Mother’s Loss & Quest for Justice     Matthew’s killers have been tried, convicted and sentenced, but Sandra Martins-Toner and her family can’t escape their grief, and the overwhelming sense of loss. They have channelled their anguish into affirmative action for victims. “The Last Six Minutes” is the true account of the random and violent murder of 16 year old Matthew Martins, and his family’s journey through the Canadian Criminal Justice System. Now the family is faced with the Killers appeal, and the torment of perhaps being subjected to yet another lengthy trial.

I first picked up this book because I remember following this case on our local news. I never in a million years would have guessed it would impact me the way it did. Sandra Martins-Toner writes with a pure honesty that few are willing to put forth. Sandra is honest about her feelings through the entire process good or bad. What their family has had to endure is embarrassing to the Justice System we have in place.
Pick up this book! It is heartbreaking, but will open your eyes to a system that clearly needs work.

Many things in this book shocked me in ways that still have a strong hold on my heart and my sense of right and wrong.I was shocked as the book unfolded how lacking our judical system is when it pertains to the victim and the victims family!It made me realize that change needs to happen and it needs to happen NOW!None of us should wait till tragedy happens to us before we wake up to the fact a total make over of our judical system needs to happen to protect its citizens!Sandras willingness to share her raw pain and emotion brought out many tears and deep sorrow for this family!Hearing this families struggle and the strength they found to endure and form their group FACT to help other families was inspiring!This book is a MUST read!
