No comments in particular, but having watched every inch of this trial, I am very emotional tonight and would be interested in the thoughts of others who have observed this trial, even just portions of it, or followed it in some other fashion.

Whew. I'm just glad I was not on that jury.

May the Becker sisters rest in peace. They were hardly mentioned during the trial.
