This stumps even me. I can't conceive why this crime ever seemed like a good idea. All involved should rot in hell.

I mean, out of 8 people, not one of them thought to say, "So...about this whole murdering people thing.... Is it really the best idea?" I hadn't read the whole story until SPP posted it, because I see the headlines and it's just too upsetting sometimes to want to click. Most of the suspects are pretty young. Here's hoping to a long life in prison where everyone knows what they did and the other inmates exact their own brand of justice.

Catching these "bad guys" is his job. That's what the county pays you to do. I'm sorry, but for some reason it just struck me as insincere and fake. I know that is not the reason for this thread but when he reached over to hug the lady in the picture, I just couldn't watch it anymore. I'm glad they caught them though.
