• UPdate on the Justice entry - My husband and I took turns spending days at court where we could be moral support for the defense team.  The trial has ended now and the jury found as follows:

  
  

  Murder one - not guilty, Manslaughter - not guilty, Assisted Suicide, not guilty

  
  

  Reckless Homicide - guilty.

  
  

  We consider this to be the best possible outcome of this case.  It acknowledges the role the defendant played in the poor decisions that led up to the tragic events, but it is the least serious of the charges.  Sentencing is scheduled for July 19, at which time we anticipate that the judge will release the defendant for time served.
