In reply to the discussion: Road Rage Trial Update [View all]Warpy
(111,169 posts)28. I am so glad we didn't have to face a murder trial
The cops wheedled a confession out of the guy with a cup of coffee and a cigarette. He refused to cop to the other two eerily similar murders in that town, but he didn't need to. He went to prison and eventually died a natural death there. I was only 16, but I felt justice had been served as long as he couldn't kill anyone else.
I don't know what a full jury trial would have done to my family.
The defendant in your case probably thinks his former and present jobs put him above the law. I hope the jury doesn't buy that, he really needs to be off the street for as long as possible.
