[Barbieshell]

Hope he gets his medicine..............fingers crossed its the sort administered in jail whilst he's strapped to a gurney.

But but but, did he consider the Provecho fountain?

Other mitigating factors were that family said Merritt instilled good values in his children, and that he showed a creative streak in the design of water features.

Judge: Totality of aggravating evidence “overwhelmingly” outweighs mitigating evidence. Motion to reduce sentence denied.

Who/why did people exit the courtroom just as Tracy was about to talk? Merritt's family? Sorry. I am working while trying to follow along. And my internet is glitchy today.

Susan Blake is now giving her victim impact statement.

I had to step away and now I'm not sure who is speaking. It sounds like he may be a former partner of Summer's?

Summer’s ex husband made good on a promise the two made years ago and just played a portion of Norman Greenbaum’s Spirit in the Sky. #nbc7 #mcstay He told Merrit, “I want to psychological mess you up.”

Yes, Summer's ex husband.

I thought his involvement in this was a bit bizarre. They never kept in touch after their divorce. jmo
