At the time, authorities said she was abducted and likely killed within an hour, her body found miles away. But what’s come out since then tells a far more disturbing story. Newly revealed evidence and trial testimony suggest those final moments were not what anyone originally believed. And now, with the man responsible already pleading guilty, the trial has shifted to whether he will spend the rest of his life in prison or be sentenced to death… .

A man capable of rape is a man capable of murder. I don’t understand how people refuse to take rape seriously enough.

Agh. I've been watching the trial and I cannot stand that they are using the "autism" defense. Such an insult to the autism community. 😒

As a former corrections officer, I will tell you real justice is not the death penalty; it's putting him in general population in prison. With his charges, inmates will r*pe, torture, and k*ll this guy. Every day will be hell in prison for him.
