On of our ninjas sent us a link from the New Haven Register<\/a> which tells the tale of how Kevin Dacey saw a wrong and sought to correct it when he discovered that Guillermo Aillon, a convicted murderer, was buried in a local veterans’ cemetery.<\/p>\n

Dacey took an interest in the case because he grew up in the same North Haven neighborhood as Donald Montano, the brother of victim George Montano. Aillon was convicted of murdering his estranged wife, Barbara, and her parents, George and Bernice Montano.<\/p>\n

While doing research on the Veterans Affairs website, Dacey said he discovered this federal law: \u201cInternment or memorialization in a VA national cemetery or in Arlington National Cemetery is prohibited if a person is convicted of a federal or state capital crime, for which a sentence of imprisonment for life or the death penalty may be imposed and the conviction is final.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dacey contacted his State Senator and the media, and the VA admitted that they “dropped the ball”. the headstone has been removed they say and they’re making arrangements to move Guillermo to more suitable accommodations.<\/p>\n

“We rely on people to be forthcoming with information like this and to be truthful to us,\u201d Connolly added. \u201cUltimately, however, this is a mistake that we are working quickly to rectify.\u201d<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Connolly concluded: \u201cFurther, we are reviewing and updating existing procedures to ensure that this type of situation does not occur in the future.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
