The year is almost over and the last five (5) months have been interesting and full of surprises, to say the least. NK is, no doubt, settling into her new "protected" life with taxpayers footing the bill for her bad decisions. the Watts family is probably stewing in their blame of others mixed with self-pity. The Rzuceks are facing life without their beloved daughter and grand-children, at least knowing justice was done. I pray they find peace and some future happiness. I pray that Shanann, Nico, Bella, and Cece are at peace in heaven, surrounded by light and love. And CW, the cold, horrible monster CW, he now lives in the belly of the beast, apparently glutting himself with sweets. His nightmare is just beginning and could last forty years or more, until he moves on to the next, much worse nightmare, if there is one.
I think most of us here believed this was going to be a long, rocky road up to, and including the trial. Lots of lies, recriminations, misdirection, legal ploys, and horrible stress on the Rzuceks. Thankfully, that didn't happen. I give no credit in anyway to convict. I believe the quick and masterful job done by LE and DA Rourke, coupled with convict's demons (in his head) led to the quick conclusion. I believe that on some level convict hates and wanted to punish his mother, and that was the demons that led to accepting the plea deal. Now it's done. There is so much we've learned and so much we don't know, and probably will never know. As DA Rourke, and several here, have said; nothing convict says, can be believed. I've enjoyed the ride, the discourse, and I've learned a lot. Kudos and Thanks to everyone.
Have a Happy and Safe New Year and God Bless.
