on a more sombre note ...

i am pleased with the verdict in the Tori Stafford trial. i cannot, however, say that justice has been served: a lovely little girl is still dead and she was still brutally murdered. those responsible for her death will never EVER, no matter how many years they spend behind bars, make up for the hell they put that child and her family thru. thank you to the jury of his peers (although, really, i am hopeful that none of his peers are as depreved as he and his accomplice...) for finding the right verdict. and to Tori's family, you will always be in my thoughts; you will never get back what you lost but hopefully your fellow man have supported you today and helped to show you the good again in the world.
