It is a crying shame that this family had to wait five and a half years to get justice. Our court system needs to operate better than this. But it is finaly over.

Unfortunately it's not over. The two will continue to drain the resources of the state on appeals and then we'll have to support them for the rest of their lives, feeding them,clothing them, medical expenses, attorney fees for the appeals and the list goes on and on. Just give them a lethal dose and forget it. Throw their dead butts in an incenerator and then throw the ashes to the wind, so the family can't visit their remains. But if the state threw their ashes to the wind, they may be in violation fo the "clean air" act for polluting the air.

Harsh?? You bet it was for the victim. For the criminals, nothing is too harsh for them!!
