Did my civic duty. - Family Woodworking

Did my civic duty.

I spent the last week on a jury deciding the case of a local murder. It was a very difficult time given the violence involved and the whole tragedy. We found the defendant guilty of first degree murder, felony murder and home invasion. He will never be free again. He murdered an 80 year old grandmother for $100.

After the trial I spoke with the family and was able to help them deal with their grief. They were very appreciative and we talked for several hours over a few beers. They have been dealing with the case for nearly 5 years.

I was particularly concerned about the defendant because he showed many signs of being a sociopath killer. At the end of the trial he got in an altercation with some family members and threatened to "do them like he did to ".........(he referred to another possible victim) All this in the presence of a state police officer who was aware of an investigation going on in another state of a murder where the police there felt they had another person pegged for that crime. This officer got right on the phone to inform them that they might be looking at the wrong guy.

I sure hope they can get him on the other charges if he is indeed guilty.

It was somewhat redemptive for me because I had a friend murdered when I was a teen by a sociopath where he wasn't caught until he had killed 3 other women and attempter to kill 2 kids. It sure dragged up a lot of memories of the past and it is entirely saddening and sickening to see another cold, calculating, cunning, smart, killer.

I'm sure glad he is off the streets.
