In answer to the question, I say no - perfect randomness cannot exist - everything must have a cause and effect. But I don't see that having an effect on free will or any greater questions because I'm comfortable with the understanding that even while, perfect randomness can't exist, <i>apparent</i> randomness <i>must</i> exist for anyone paying attention (i.e. life)
We can try to push the boundaries of our understanding and sensitivity, in order to limit the amount of randomness that we accept in our lives, but no matter how far we push those boundaries, things will always have been caused by other things, and be subject to the laws of physics (whatever they may be)
