While that would be good, I think something more creative and shocking/outrageous should be considered. A candlelight vigil will just be ignored, whereas a more direct, in-your-face event may actually get some coverage...

I don't suppose there's any chance of talking a DA into getting a murder-2 indictment? ;)

Like Teddy the Hutt will be sober enough to know about it....

I hear that they are $5 million in the hole already for the convention....how much of that is for Ted's liquor allowance....

That's correct. It happened the night before Apollo 11 landed on the moon.
