According to
observers, the Gerry Adams case is very delicate simply because it affects the
balance of political powers in Ireland. The impact of charges against Adams,
who had a connection to the killing of Mrs. McConville and ordered the woman’s
death, could upset the balance of the public.
According to
the son of Jean McConville, Michael had told police that Gerry Adams will
receive a “backlash” should he decide to release the names of the people who
killed her. Adams denied the statement. On Sunday, he was released after being
questioned about the case, which happened in 1972.
Police
believed that Adams had connections with the Irish Republican Army.
However, Michael
vowed to get justice for his mother’s death.
Law experts
said that the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland should step
in and oversee all criminal proceedings on behalf of police forces. The Justice
Act of 2002 binds them so. The police is advised to leave the decisions to the
Public Prosecution Service of the DPP.
The impact of
the Gerry Adams case in the power-sharing government of Northern Ireland may
shake violently, according to political analysts. Adams was released on Sunday,
but the PPS will can still call him back if evidences point to charges against
him.
