If this killing had happened 100 years ago, the couple would likely have been tried, convicted, and executed in less than 12 months. Their swift apprehension, conviction, and disposal would have served as a message to the crazies and perverts that society will not tolerate this behavior and punishment will be both swift and permanent.
Today it will be more than a year before the trial. Even if convicted they will be appealing whatever punishment they receive for decades. Should they receive the death penalty, in Pennsylvania it is doubtful it will be applied and certainly not for the female.
Perhaps when the Chinese take over, justice will be swift and certain.
I don’t know about that. The Craigslist Telegraph was notoriously slow.
12 months? How about days or hours?
