(Update, Grand Rapids, November 24, 2004, 7:24 p.m.) Employees of The CyberNET Group couldn't believe it when they heard that their boss, Barton Watson, took his own life, but even more angry to know he won't be punished in court for what he has done.

“I don't know the details of it. But I'm disappointed that he won't be around to stand trial. And I guess that’s how a lot of us feel. He is, pardon me, taking the chicken way out. And I think a lot of feel that way,” an employee who didn't want to be identified told 24 Hour News 8.

"I myself wanted to see him take an account for what he did or what he was alleged to have done. And now we might not find out the total scope of what took place," added fellow co-worker Jerry Goedert.

And that goes way beyond their jobs and whether or not they will get their final paycheck. "He’s gone now and we're left with a great big mess, and we all have to move forward," said the unidentified employee.
