Are We There Yet?
I posted about this topic last summer.
The last couple of days have been disturbing.
I question motives. I question attorneys. I question morality.
I question sanity.
I read about change of venue.
Conversations are rehashed.
Again.
Experiences relived.
Again.
Tears re-shed.
Again.
Emotions are still exhausted 23 years later.
Nobody will rest until this is settled.
…especially Jackie.

I know what you mean, in some ways.
I know of a few people who died under tragic circumstances, and while I didn't know them well enough to call them a "friend" I knew enough about them to the point I was shocked when it happened.
It's when we cease to feel shocked or upset over someone's death that, as a society, we'll really be in trouble.
I can only imagine how her family must have felt at the time. Or what they're going through right now.
Her Daddy looks older than he should.
Pre-trial hearings will likely go on for months.
There are multiple factors involved. Some of the lest talked about are:
1. Special prosecutors bill by the hour and have little incentive to speed trial
2. Preliminary motions to suppress evidence and frame the rules of court combat
It's a long hard path. I've conducted interviews with families in parrallel situations that take years.
Hi there, Darin. I know you're right, but it would be nice to have closure for the sake of her family. Wishful thinking on my part?
