Its over, its done.
All the talking , analysing, snarking and fighting would never have done it.
It needed something I no longer believed existed.
Real warriors, real strength and real integrity from those that live it, not talk it.
Thank you Tricia Websleuths. Massive thanks for an education I would never have received elsewhere.
Harmony, you are a beautiful light.
This is a special place. May it thrive.
I learnt a lot here.
Hard lessons. Good lessons, new skills. I learnt I have choices.
I learnt to trust.
Today that lesson was massively amplified.
I never thought it would come to pass.
I learnt too that I am not hanging on to a love for America based on a delusion. A memory of the best time of my life.
It was really there. It is still.
I am very emotional, crying all day.. but its cathartic.
Miracles happen. Because some people choose to live with integrity and believe in justice and fight for it.
That prosecutor threw his own body on the sword.
He squared up to one of the most profound darknesses I ever experienced.
He was not afraid of it. He had earned the skills he used to fight it.
Overwhelming respect to him, his team and all the people of NC.
Overwhelming respect to all who contributed here.
Thank you for teaching me. Love to you.
I hope we all do it again, with all the same people.
As a gesture of respect to those warriors , I will let the Martens go now, (hopefully).
They were bigger than me and I was out of my depth, emotionally, psychically and spiritually.. I would have drowned in a sea of sheer hatred and become their victim too.
Love and Peace.
Irish government have nothing to do with it as the trial judge pointed out during this trial. International witness subpoenas have no effect and can’t be served on any external body to enforce.Jack and Sarah are minor children who are citizens of Ireland. I do not believe the Irish government would allow them to testify.
I'll be watching Friday night...

Thanks. I learn so much being here.Irish government have nothing to do with it as the trial judge pointed out during this trial. International witness subpoenas have no effect and cant be served on any external body to enforce.
It is at the discretion of the NCDPS. Generally, yes he would be in a special population unit due to his having been an LE agent but that is not a privilege. Also he is elderly, may also have health issues, and has no previous criminal record or gang affiliations. It is not special accomodations but segregation, separate unit at the prison, created in about the same size as any other unit but consisting of former LE, or just elderly people, or some mix like that. They do the same for any vulnerable prisoners like GBTQ, infirm, disabled, and so on, and they try to keep rival gang members separated by units, too. The prisons do not want any offender murdered in a retaliation by some other offender for any reason, including former LE officers.
MM is the one who will be tossed into general population to mingle.
Did they need the money to fund their defense or were they so confident they would get off that they happily gave interviews in advance?
Not sure if this question is related to TM or MM or their attorneys.
I just want to say thanks to each and every poster here . I said it before but I will say it again now . I enjoyed this experience something I have never done before and doubt I will ever do again . I think we all poured or heart and soul into this stayed up late , checked here when we shouldn't have done , ignored our home lives . I know I did and for Jason , his children , his family and his friends I would do it all again. I thought I would feel hate but I don't I know Kitty will be glad to hear that . I feel sorrow for what Molly could have been had she not been an embarrassment to her family their shameful secret . There is nothing shameful about mental health . I feel her parents abandoned her when she needed them most but came running when disaster struck . Not for her but for them . Maybe thats where she learned the selfishness from. I could never forgive the total disregard for Jason , his children or his family and friends . It was like they were dirt on their shoes . Although the jurors made their decision solely based on the evidence of that tragic night on August 2nd 2015 when they look up this case I hope they see they the decision they made was absolutely the right one . With the sentencing the judge gave Im sure he agreed . Molly had no regard for Jasons life he wasn't good enough for her she felt or good enough for her family . Jason and Jasons family have more class in their baby finger than they can ever dream of , they can love and be loved . Its been a long two years for us never mind Jasons family . I cried today more than I ever did for a man I didn't know. It was such an emotional rollercoaster . I pray that Jasons children and family finally get some closure. I hope Jason Mags and Mr Fitzpatrick RIP knowing that Jack and Sarah are safe and protected in the arms of those who love them for them . Just want to say Tracey Lynch is a superhero her strength amazes me Molly Martens did not count on that
I'm afraid my sympathies tend to lie with JC(Jr) & SC who will have to deal with the extraordinary price of growing up without a father, and JC's father and mother who have to live the rest of their lives without their son. They didn't deserve that.Is there any sympathy at all for the Martens (excluding Molly)?
I feel like I inhabit a different planet to the other posters. I respect peoples viewpoint but mine is fundamentally different.
JC suffered an awful death but TM and SM will pay an extraordinary price - I would say their fate is almost worse than death.
Good luck and god bless to all.

Your post leads me to believe you were not in the courtroom. You did not witness the photos of Jason after MM and TM beat him to death. You are not an advocate for Jason's children, who lost their last living parent that horrible night. Before you ask for sympathy for TM, SM, or MM please think of the pain their actions caused two innocent children. You are in the strange universe if you think overkill is okay. Prayers to you.Is there any sympathy at all for the Martens (excluding Molly)?
