I've never been this invested in a trial before, and I hope to never be again. I grew up in rural ancaster. Tim and I went to the same highschool, he was a grade ahead of me. Sharlene and Tim's home is very close to my childhood home, where my parents still live. The bus I took home from school from kindergarten to highschool went right past book & trinity.
I moved away when I got older, but my sister stayed and bought a home in the area, and is friends with Tim's sister. That's how I first learned about Tim's disappearance, my sister shared his sister's status update saying he was missing. My sister and her friends used to go to Tim and Sharlene's house to use his hot tub. This was all just too real for me.
This case upset me, it upset me a lot. I cried reading the twitter updates, and I also started shaking when a verdict was in. I felt confident in first degree, but scared regardless. I really needed to see justice done. My husband doesn't get why this case and the verdicts were such a big deal to me. I felt like my sister had more of a claim to be upset so I didn't want to bother her. I appreciate that I was able to find some like minded people to talk to leading up to the verdicts. So thanks for that, everyone.
I will probably follow the Christina Noudga trial because I hate that ***** and want her to rot in jail... but not at the same level and emotional investment as this one.
happy that was clarified!!
