02/06/08 - Dr. Ian Rubin's Family Has Complained About The Press, But At Least The Family Got Justice.

There has been an extensive letter writing campaign from family members and fiends complaining of the press coverage over the shocking murder of Dr.Ian Rubins.

And while I feel for the family during this horrific and sad time.

I do think that the family is being a bit insensitive to the Bria family of Byram.

Like Dr. Rubins, No One Called To Help 19 Year Old John J. Bria.

But the Bria family has went three years without getting justice.

The Greenwich Police Department closed the case and Megan Caron, Katie Hanscom, Savannah Lamotte and Jason Cunningham have ecaped responsibility for the Byram boy's death.

Please see previous reports about John....

Nor has anyone been punished in the drug death of Kyle Lendenmann, a 17-year-old Greenwich High School student.

One year ago, Kyle was found dead at his home from what the Greenwich Police Department said was a methadone overdose.

Both of these Greenwich families are waiting for Justice for their boys.

Things could have been worse.

Leonard Bajramaj could of killed Dr. Rubins in Greenwich, where murders often go unpunished.

The Greenwich Police Department should re-open the Bria and Lendenmann cases and bring those responsible to justice.
