Irina Yarmolenko's friends remember her as a young woman with a camera, rushing to make the most of every day.

She wrote for the university's student newspaper, worked at a campus computer center and a local coffee shop, and was a roving amateur photographer. She loved poetry, music and the outdoors.

I've posted a lot about Ira's murder and trial. This is just to give everyone here an appreciation of what a beautiful human being she was.

Horrific loss.

Facing a murder rap, the perp would not testify in his own defense. This says volumes to me.
