Well, FWIW, those of us here in the Midwest (and specifically in the state where the crime took place) are
NOT happy about
any of this stuff... In fact,
every person with whom I spoke at the time of the crime (Nov. of 2021) spontaneously made "angry" sounds, waggled their index fingers, and often used the word "Justice!", and sometimes the phrase, "Justice for
Nohema!"
So! Just want to give y'all a general "temperature" of how people in these parts feel about angry students deciding to just...
murder a teacher who won't just "give away" a higher grade. While I do *not* live in Mrs. Graber's town, trust me when I tell you that adults in this state are
beyond furious over what these two young men did (and I'm trying to speak/write kindly, not using the words to describe them that so many others here in this state have used
![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
).
Oh -- and
not.one.taxpayer is "excited" about these requests for "experts"... (Now, keep in mind, I'm not saying that the defendants are not *allowed* to have such "experts"; just that... well,
you here on WS, and in this forum, can
already well imagine
exactly what 99.44% of the general populace is thinking about regarding this case.)

Also, special thanks to
@Niner and
@Seattle1 (and others who I may have missed, since I have not read the entire forum from the first day up until today);
thanks to everyone who has shared court dates, updates, etc. Much appreciated!
