    Uhh... why a trial? Sorry, but there are times I don't think the cost and time of a trial should even be considered.



    I've been Boooo'd!

    About having a trial...I recall reading news stories about families who suffered when the accused killed themselves. They suffer because they don't have a chance to get an answer to the enormous WHY? of it all, WHY their child was killed. (Or even an adult relative).

    It seems to be a very important part of closure for the families...and trials are PUBLIC, so everyone who cares needs to see the accused, and the accused NEED to be seen.

    I'd hate to move towards a society where 'secret executions' are the rule, or where one never knows what becomes of people accused of crime. Why? Because it could happen to innocent people - and in many countries, that is what happens. "The disappeared".

    Why shouldn't there be a trial? Someone kidnapped and murdered this little girl. Two people have been charged with the crimes. Even though it won't bring Tori back, shouldn't they still have their day in court, and if they are found guilty, shouldn't they be punished?

    Death thought about it.
