This is devastating. He executed them. Why the court reporter???
He could have just taken the gun and ran.
Seems he needed the taste of blood.
I'm not a court reporter but my clients are all court reporters (I'm a proofreader)...it's making me almost physically ill thinking about the poor court reporter being killed in that way, since so many of my clients work in courtrooms. I feel terrible for everyone, but it really personalizes it for me, imagining one of my longtime friends/clients in that situation.
'Cuz she wuz there?
