So 2 hours since the majority direction and still no verdict. This doesn't feel good, her family must be beside themselves.
My only consoling feeling is that if he is convicted of the rape alone, of which I personally have no doubts on, the Judge will surely throw the book at him (did someone post maximum sentence 19 years to life imprisonment?), due to the aggravating factors and the fact she never returned home through either direct or indirect consequence of his actions.
I don't believe he will be a free man for many many years, if ever but understandably this may not feel like enough for her family. All moo
I agree. It won't feel like nearly enough for me. He is the reason Libby is dead.
I am not sure what sentence the Judge could give if he is only found guilty of rape. Too high and there will inevitably be an appeal.
