A Justice for Jesseka Rally has been scheduled
for 11 a.m. Saturday, March 3, at the gazebo at
the Boundary County Fairgrounds, for a peaceful
protest before the sentencing date for Eric
Dante, who pled guilty to the May 1, 2017,
murder of Jesseka Munson in Bonners Ferry, and
who could be eligible for parole in five years
as part of that plea agreement.
"This potential sentencing on March 8th is not
justice for Jesseka’s life," said Shauna
Kennedy-Carr, Jesseka's sister and founder of
Stop the Silence, a Spokane group dedicated to
support those silenced by their abusers. "Let us
stand together and be a voice for Jesseka and
every other person who has lost their life as a
result of domestic violence!
"Let’s let Judge Barbara Buchanan, Prosecutor
Tevis Hull and Idaho Attorney General Lawrence
Wasden know how we feel about five years for
murder. We need to act fast and be the voice for
Jesseka and other domestic violence victims."
Those attending are asked to wear purple to show
your support wearing purple and bring signs
expressing how you feel. Domestic violence
survivors, advocates and families are expected
to be in attendance to share their stories. |
