I had to listen to the verdict on the radio, as I was in the car and am just catching up with you all now.
I am so grateful to the jury, who took their job so seriously and performed it with patience, dignity and resolve.
I am grateful for the display of grace and class I've seen in Travis Alexander's family and friends.
I am grateful to God, that He still allows justice to shine now and then, even in this fallen and broken world, and has answered the prayers of so many that a just verdict would be rendered, and that Travis's family might find some small comfort in knowing that his killer would be brought to justice.
I am grateful to all of you, who have gone on this journey with me, both the analytical part of this case and emotional part, and treated my views with such respect, sharing your own well-founded thoughts with graciousness, passion and even humor.
(I am also grateful for the fabulous Meritage I'm enjoying -- I felt it was appropriate to pop a cork or two in celebration!)
Thank you all so very, very much.
