After all this time, Murbarger finally gets sentenced to 50 years and nobody gives a damn?

Remember Megan Nichols. Justice for Megan Nichols.
I've been saying Murbarger was guilty since long before he was charged.

Actually, weren't you one of the people arguing with me about that?

(I still wonder whether he got any help from his dad.)

I did think it was Megan's mother who was to blame at first.

I also wonder about Illinois State Police Inspector Jayson Murbarger's probable involvement... Brodey had his father testify about water leaking into his car's trunk. Jayson claimed to be unaware of any other fluids that may have been in the trunk.

Wayne County States Attorney Kevin Kakac and Assistant District Attorney Michael Falagario did not object to the motion filed After some time, both sides came up with a new hearing date of June 16th with the new motion to be filed no later than June 9th.

Wayne County Judge Michael Molt granted the motion and set the new date for the hearing to reconsider Murbarger’s sentence for June 16th.
