Every time I've opened FR in the past few days and saw "new posts to you" (or whatever it says), I've held my breath as I've clicked on it, wondering if this would be notice of the verdict.

I sure hope she gets some help while serving her time.
In a fair world, she would have gotten help as a teenager. Instead, she was molested by the man who should have helped her. If California had a "he needed killing" defense, she would have walked.

It's not justice, but it's the best we can get in this situation.
