Those of you who were on the old board might remember this case - from Halloween 2005. Everyone here has been waiting and waiting to end this trial - 5 weeks and a day. I just remembered we discussed it back then and thought I'd give an update.
This just came through on my Yahoo home page as national A/P news:
Man freed by DNA found guilty in slaying
I know when it happened I found it on some world news things. It's just odd. Hilbert only has about 1000 people, that's where Teresa went to school - and it's where I went to school... with many of her cousins, one of whom is married to my sister.
Waited through this whole trial for today. I'm relieved, but a bit confused at the 2nd verdict. But relieved that the bastard will remain behind bars. ... and relieved that this whole community can begin to move on. It's like one of the biggest cases in Wisconsin history - nothing we really needed to have!
