Petit Family murders. trial coverage, warning! graphic evidence photos.

[Lady Cop]

this week should conclude the state's wrenching case, and next week will be the defense turn. all the defense can hope for here is to somehow make hayes look less culpable than the evil komisarjevsky and keep him off death row. the real disgust and vomit factor will come in the penalty phase where they try to portray hayes as a poor victim of some societal ill or another. poor potty training perhaps. his lawyer has a job to do, most people understand that concept. but i'd sleep with my gun if i were him.

what is hateful is that when komisarjevsky gets his bite at the judicial apple, the Petits must endure this all over again...a replay of the same horrible evidence. unless the state strikes a deal with the devil. i don't think that's likely.
