Some of you may recall this blog post, a few years back.

As I found out while recovering from surgery, it was my friend who was named as one of the victims, and I unfortunately couldn't attend the service since I was laid up in casts. Anyways, her killer was caught (and my sister had to be recused from treating him, while he was held where she worked, because of the connection), and his trial began a few months ago. Unfortunately it vanished from the paper a week or so after it started; I never knew if they'd reached they'd reached a verdict . . . Until last night.

Guilty - two concurrent life sentences, no chance of parole for 25 years.

So he didn't manage to cop an insanity plea, and he will be genuinely punished . . . But that doesn't mean I'm not wishing I could somehow arrange to have him burned alive.

    I'm sorry to hear about you losing your friend, and that she was a victim of abuse. This is one of those times where I don't really know what to say, but I'm sorry and I hope this guy gets what he deserves in prison.

    Kieran... I just now read your previous blog post on the matter, and, all I can say is... I hope your friend gets the peaceful rest she deserves from this life of hell she was suffering from here.

    Now, slightly off-topic, but... what's recused mean?

    I'm kind of hoping.

    Me, too - thank you.

    It means that you have to excuse yourself from something where there's a potential conflict of interest - doctors can't treat family members, for example. In this case, because she had a connection to one of his victims, my sister couldn't treat (or really, interact with) him, because of the potential that she might be tempted to harm him.

    Ah... that's what it means. Thanks for the definition.

    I not sure what to say. Reading this and the previous post shows how bad things can get.
    It's the sort of thing you can never understand unless it happens to you and then it's something you don't want to understand.
    I am sorry for your loss and that your friend was abused. Being unable to see her for a few years can't have been a good thing.
    Her killer has the "pleasure" of 25+ years in prison for what he's done.
    May he and the man who abused her suffer like she never should have done.
    All I can say is sorry for your loss my friend and remember that we are here if you need us.
    I wish you well.

    Sorry for your loss man.

    And in all seriousness, I hope the guy drops the soap for all 25 years worth.
