The murderer needs to be sent to prison for life ( since the death penalty won't be used ) as he and he ALONE is responsible for an horrific, needles death. He brought a knife to the track meet, went into and would NOT leave a tent he had NO business being in, and was looking for trouble.
He’s going to be the new nexus of the crisis for looting and burning.
Bet on it.
I maintain that the killer had the option of using his knife to a different part of the body, such as an arm or leg, which would’ve been enough to get away if he truly felt threatened. To stab someone not just in the chest, but in the heart, shows me he was trying to kill the other guy, not just get away from trouble.
