Wow, thank you, chico!:blushing: I'm no great sleuth, this case just offended my senses. River rat is probably the best expert on the JBR case that I've ever seen-she totally knows her stuff. I think her siggie pic sums up the entire case-PR wrote the ransom note, which if she did that, she was at the very least an accomplice. I think it was she that killed JB and since she's dead, I think it's like beating a dead horse-almost literally lol. I do hope the new DA gives closure in the case; he seems like a good guy who won't be intimidated by $. As for the M's, that case was appalling in that it seemed that MKL, left to her own devices, would have never even charged the Midyettes. And even then the charges were minor considering it was first degree murder.
My bf works at the state pen, and the days of throwing someone notorious in with the general population are over. It would be extreme negligence-not only can the prisoners sue the state, but the guards individually if something happens on their watch. The recent rulings about inmates' safety have guaranteed that Casey and Alex will never be in general population. Here's a snipped blurb from the Casper the friendly ghost Tribune lol:

CHEYENNE -- The state of Wyoming paid $350,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a former prison inmate who claimed he was beaten and sexually assaulted by another inmate at the state penitentiary in Rawlins. Orchard said he believes those who break the law belong in prison, but the state has a responsibility to treat them humanely.
"Humane treatment of them, and just like the humane treatment of prisoners we're seeing nationally with waterboarding, is an important litmus test about our civilization," Orchard said.
