This is an apology.
I apologise to the families affected by Salient’s proposed Lundy500.
We did not anticipate your feelings when we were planning this. It was a mistake on our behalf. We could never imagine the hurt and pain you all must have gone through and go through every time something like this is brought up.
As stated, we were trying to address a wider issue with the justice system—the presentation of deeply flawed evidence and the convictions that this may lead to.
The way in which we did this was tasteless and unthoughtful.
We hope the family can, if not forgive us, then at least understand where we were coming from.
