Crime scene photos should not be released to the public . It is sick .
Absolutely no reason to release crime scene photos.
There are no words deep enough to touch the pain of losing a daughter, especially in such a cruel and unjust way. But your strength—just standing, breathing, speaking her name with love and purpose—is something extraordinary. You’ve carried unimaginable grief with courage, and in doing so, you’ve honored her memory in a way that no one else could. I hope you know that your strength doesn’t mean you’re not hurting—it means you’re loving her still, even through the pain. My heart is with you.
As a retired prosecutor in another country, I was appalled at the lack of clarity in the giving of the facts at plea. Everything was so watered down to remove the complete ferocity of the attack on these murder victims. It’s as if he had agreed to play it down for a plea deal. “Stabbed multiple times” is almost meaningless in the scenario, which is I believe as far as Thompson described it. Was he worried if he outlined the truth the deal would not be accepted by the court? I don’t know. It was certainly a strangely dealt with case that I will probably remember for the wrong reasons.
Steve looks really hopeless and completely drained. These poor people will be in agony forever. God bless them
The families deserve privacy . The photos should never be released to the public . The victims deserve to be remembered as beautiful, happy, vibrant human beings. I don’t see the need for the photos to be released . Give the victims the respect they deserve.
Full transparency has NOTHING to do with crime scene photos of the victims, beautiful souls.
Absolutely Dignity is the last thing we can give them This is personal to the kiddos and their families. Insane how cruel the world is
There is absolutely NO reason for those photos to be released. Those poor babies deserve respect. The parents deserve peace and not to worry about news reports or random social media sleuths showing those out of the blue.
As someone who truly believes in the FOIA and full disclosure of case facts… WE DON’T NEED THE PHOTOS. We don’t. Let these poor kids rest in peace.
