On the sisters fight for justice for their brother, Robert McCartney

Robert McCartney was murdered 3 & half years ago in a Belfast pub. Since then his five sisters have campaigned tirelessly to try and bring his killers to justice. They won the support of President Bush, Hillary Clinton & John McCain, MEP's, met Tony Blair & Bertie Aherne, held rallies & have steadfastly refused to be silenced, even in the face of intimidation. Last week they lost their fight for justice when the man accused of his murder was acquitted. The women have sacrificed homes, careers and health to get justice for their brother. Catherine McCartney joins Jenni to talk about where they go now with their campaign?
