The good news is that it was a targeted crime.
For those who don’t know, a family was held captive in their home, ransom paid, murdered, house set on fire and the “suspect” is caught after going back and forth to NYC in a van and car with others.
The family was absolutely in their prime and the victims included a household employee.
And the story here is that TMZ got it wrong. Hang himself at 25?
my story (a hundred days)
(no caps)
It is raining or snowing for the hundredth day in a row—what else happened to me a hundred days ago?—so I’ll take the time to write it down.
It is a civil right. I believe there is sufficient evidence to win a court case; I think, even more strongly, that the case can be “won” (if that is possible) in the court of public opinion if it can be told explained properly. There was a time—and that has not changed—that I expected dark blue sedans and SUVs with flashing lights to surround my home and protect me. I have often compared it to Mississippi Burning.
It is part of the much larger, often in the news subject of public safety.
And then, this is where it really gets interesting to me. The standard is what you think, “reason to believe” I think are the exact words. (Only tangentially-related: customer satisfaction is the highest standard.)
It is a fantastic story that needs to be told.
