Is it possible he uploaded it somewhere before destroying the phone..? Some sort of cloud storage or torrent? I assume any and all SM accounts of his have been searched, but if he's been doing anything behind a proxy or on the Tor network..

anybody have a link to the affidavit
A part of me hopes that the police are not able to retrieve any images/video from the phone. I hate to think of the evil and humiliation that he captured on that phone. But I also think it would be best that this evil human being be confronted with it and forced to admit to it. It sickens me to think about what this poor woman had to endure. I suppose that any pics/vid recovered would be useful in ensuring that this monster doesnt someday regain his freedom.
The more they have the better to keep him behind bars for as long as possible. The defense will use his age to try and get sympathy in his sentence.
I do understand how you feel though.
The highest court in Massachusetts Tuesday struck down down life sentences without parole for juveniles as unconstitutional, ruling that applying such sentences against minors was "strikingly similar, in many respects, to the death penalty."
The decision by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court comes one year after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that two men convicted of killings committed when they were 14 could not be sentenced to life in prison without parole. The nation's highest court said the sentences violated the "principle of proportionality, and so violate the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment."
In Massachusetts, the court ruled that "the imposition of a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole for the commission of murder in the first degree by a juvenile under the age of eighteen is disproportionate not with respect to the offense itself, but with regard to the particular offender."
The family of slain Danvers High teacher Colleen Ritzer of Andover has thrown its support behind proposed legislation announced last week that could impact the now 15-year-old charged with her murder.State Sens. Barry Finegold and Bruce Tarr filed legislation last week that could have ramifications on the trial and sentencing of the Ritzer’s alleged killer.The legislation aims to keep juveniles convicted of first-degree murder in jail for 35 years before they become eligible for parole. - See more at: http://www.andovertownsman.com/loca...cks-juvenile-parole-bill#sthash.2CwpR69C.dpuf
