I was not in the courtroom, and I have admiration for those of you that were. Our justice system needs plenty of witnesses. I, like you, shed a lot of tears after the "Death" sentence. And, if anyone deserves it, Thurber certainly does. However, his family were drug into this, and I feel bad for them also. No matter what their son did, they still love him.They can remember when he was a baby, toddler, teenager, to adult. There had to be plenty of good times. I hope the System studies his brain or lack thereof, etc. before he is actually put to death. My heart breaks for his family/friends as well as for the Sanderholms. What a loss to them and to the community. I believe there will never be a satisfactory reason for any of this.</p> <p>Thank you.</p> <p>LEJ</p> I agree with you, in regards to the emotions.
