I often think of the families of the victims. Last spring, they were all enjoying life together and now they are gone.

 

[PayrollNerd]

So are any of them flipping?

Honestly, if they're so dumb they ended up back in the slammer, I can't imagine so. They're all social pariahs now and I hope none of them gets a "deal" for anything. Well, except maybe an award for being dumber than a box of rocks.

I'm surprised Mary didn't come up with something but it looks like she is sticking by her man....MOO
