Well, I wanted to know what happens to the perps. By sheer luck, I stumbled upon an article about Jodi Vinson's trial today and that reminded me to check out some of these names. There's a disconnect here that I still don't like. You have either be very close to this situation or paying attention or you just won't see the progress.
