I know it's been two decades, but I'm curious: did you notice the beginnings of genuine remorse (as opposed to sorrow at being caught and prosecuted) in any of those defendants, either at hearing your straight talk or from any other aspect of the proceedings? Their spiritual journey, as St. Paul and Chuck Colson made clear, continued thereafter. You may have given that an assist, as straight talk can sometimes get through, whether immediately or else after consideration at leisure--and I imagine they'd have plenty of leisure upcoming.
I remember every detail of that case like it was yesterday because there was so much pure evil on the part of the defendants contrasted with so much decency and humanity on the part of the families of the victims. I’ll send more details by FReepmail later.
