My cousin was murdered in Philadelphia when I was 13. It was devestating because i had the mindset of ' oh well, that's sad, but it will never happen to anyone I know'. How did you get through dealing with a senseless death, and legal processes that followed it? The guy who killed her was found guilty of abuse of a corpse, and sentenced to jail for a few years. I don't think I will ever understand how he was not charged with murdering my cousin. Do you ever feel any regret or sudden bursts of anger or sadness when you think about the victim or the killer. Are you ever angry enough that you feel like screaming? My cousin did not deserve to be strangled and thrown away. I want the guy who killed her to know that he is hated, and I wish he would rot in jail for the rest of his life. Many people find it surprising that I do not want him to die, but living a life in prision will torture him, and make him remember forever what he did.

I knew a small child that was murdered by her own parents. She was a year old and weighed less than 8 pounds when Child Protective Services picked her up. She'd been left to starve, literally. My friends were her foster parents for 6 months then, horribly, the baby went home on a technicality and her parents murdered her while the case was on appeal.
When they did the autopsy, her body was covered in bruises in various stages of healing and the parents claimed she had gotten those bruises falling down while learning how to walk.
Worse yet, the woman was pregnant when the matter went to trial and so the judge went easy on the both of them, giving them PROBATION! They've left town but I can't bear to look at that judge without wanting to scream "What were you thinking?"

Down in Texas, we have a saying about guys like the one who killed your cousin: "He needs killin." If he'd done that down here, he'd be facing the sharp end of a needle in a couple of years.
