That's what I'd hoped too. But it never really is "we" in matters like this, even if we feel that way. Ultimately, it is their lives and legal process. I hope they at least got off easier. Otherwise the entire thing was a waste of time and money. I understand that many people donated to their defense thinking they'd play it out, but expecting anything in return isn't fair. I get the disappointment though. I wanted to see the state explicitly lose. Because pleas like this usually just allow the state to walk away clean at our expense AND with the ability to do it all over again to someone else.
