She feeling good about destroying those folks? As far as I can tell, that was a travesty.

She's also done some good things, going after banks and a little on the Big Dig miscreants.

Good luck!

That poor family. Can't believe some of those people still believe they committed those crimes.

I'm sensitive to that case because I had a college professor whose research was on children as witnesses in court, and I actually participated in one experiment as a subject. He found that kids are easily led to believe things that are not true, and they are amazingly persuasive as witnesses.

There was zero physical evidence in that case, and the kids were heavily coached.
