It started to sink in for me with the report above, that much closer, today. A song set to images of radiant Morgan and her case, a nice thing to see and hear after yesterday. Found it via
Ms. Laura French, (
more great stuff here) and of course the other three panels of
HSTNG's VP, Laura Vance's sketches, also there was this
"Welcome to the Fish Bowl" by Kenny Chesney. One could spend days reviewing the coverage of this one day alone, just the facts as they were reported from court, the images, text, and impressions, the coverage was that well done by the press corps on this story, it seems to me.

Gil Harrington responds following Jesse Matthew plea
By Dawn Jefferies, Anchor,
WSLS10, Jun 10, '15 5:01 pm edt quotes DA Ray Morrogh and Gil Harrington
"A lot of defendants do it when they don't want to admit what they did," said prosecutor Ray Morrogh who went on to say he was confident in his case and hoped to present to a jury."
[...]
"Obviously we'll be seeking a substantial penitentiary sentence given the nature of these crimes."
and Mrs. Harrington said,
"It feels to me similar to when I heard that Morgan was missing from a concert and I said that it felt like the elevator drop two stories. And I'm feeling like that."
