I hope that they are able to get together a solid case against this animal and convict / kill him. Even if convicted though....the appeals process could take years. Our system, even though its the best around probably, just is not equipped to deal with people like this...swiftly and justly. Too many lawyers...too many loopholes...not enough common sense. I wish the family well.
