Sister, I am not defending them. I am looking at this situation through how the legal system may deal with the whole situation. I did this with the Terry Schiavo case too. It's easy to get caught up in what we feel, what we think, and how things should go. However, I know that this whole mess is eventually going to be settled in a court of law, not the court of public opinion.

You are absolutely right, that is why the state has to be very careful how they handle this situation. I really am not sure how a jury or juries will respond to this either. And I am sure the orginazation will sue the state. And then some individual's as well. Which could drag this out for year's and the actual victim's will really be forgotten in all this.
