  3. He was just convicted today. Very sad story all the way around. I've been tracking his story since this happened. I really hope that he gets the help he needs, even in jail. At least they took PTSD into consideration but too many other times it is not even mentioned. I hope the family members of all involved will have some sort of closure now that the trial is over but I think it will take them a very long time.
