Except for the trial, it's over and done - for SOME. What about PC's children? Who will care for them? WI mother will have no financial child support. The current wife will have no $ to help raise her children. This isn't even taking into account the lack of a father figure, not that PC was one anyway. This case will have far reaching effects.
You must not be aware that PC was not holding down a job and had never paid a penny in child support as to his 4 children with a woman who resides in Wisc. Also, at the child support hearing the morning of the murder, at which PC was ORDERED to get a job and begin to pay child support, PC argued with the judge that he did not want to have to pay any money doe 2 of those (4) children (in Wisc.) because he'd adopted them and they were not his biologically (WHAT IRONY, WITH THE MURDER THEN OF ONE OF HIS BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN THE VERY SAME DAY !!). Also on the day of the murder, PC was phoned by a temp' agency and asked to work a personal care attendant temp' job shift to begin at 4 p.m. that day, and he said he was 'too busy' to work.
As to Barway and the other 2 biological sons (younger boys) that PC has with his 'present wife' who resides in Crystal, MN (a NW suburb of Mpls.), PC was NOT holding down a job and the family was (and is) receiving public assistance, food support, medical assistance, other government aid. Posters here have wondered how PC was getting cash for such things as MULTIPLE LARGE LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES, AT LEAST 2 SEPARATE POLICIES OF WHICH WE KNOW, ON ALL 7 OF HIS CHILDREN, gas money, cable TV, and so much more (read through prior posts in this thread) and made several (good) guesses, e.g., reselling government provided baby formula at a steep discount for cold cash via Cra@g@list.
Also, fyi, the state of MN (meaning, we the MN taxpayers) is paying for the two public defenders (attorneys) who have been assigned to handle PC's murder trial (PC claims innocence and is 'looking forward to his day in court', i.e., court trial).
As to your concern about 'losing the father figure', I won't 'go there', but to say that I bet the present wife is very, very grateful that the two younger boys whose are hers biologically (with PC) did not, in due time, wind up murdered (i.e., 'disappearing'), and I imagine such thoughts having to go through her head would motivate her to be one super wonderful mom who cherishes the 2 boys still with her.
The housing where Crystal, MN mom resides with the 2 boys is federal Section 8 housing, so rent is 'peanuts'. Local public school system is fantastic/terrific.
