in 1998 he was convicted of a drug charge and given three years probation. Probation didn’t go very well, and soon he was serving five years in state prison for two separate violations.

The justice system failed those kids. I would have told the prosecutor that to her face. If your office had done its job in the first place, they would still be alive today. Your winning a conviction doesn’t redeem it from that and never should!
