I'm appalled that not one of his family members or the people from the community who spoke on his behalf expressed an iota of remorse toward either survivor. As Jane Doe #2's dad said, "I hope [he] rots in hell".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681108704390260122.post-49180301365360201462016-07-28T22:52:39.977-07:002016-07-28T22:52:39.977-07:00Thank you Allan for your comment.He only has to se...Thank you Allan for your comment.He only has to serve 85% of the time.

I am troubled by the letter that John posted indicating that alleged bribes were offered the victim, which BTW after a conviction unclear what good that would have done. Once convicted these sentences have very little discretion and the sentence could not have been really shorter or longer. I hope the Meserve family is fully investigated regarding their conduct in this case. In my mind all it did was make Kailan look more guilty. The courage of the victims in coming forward and sticking with this until the very end after incredible pressure and fear make make them the true heroes of this case.Allan Dollisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398369900020387507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681108704390260122.post-63295091365167624322016-07-28T21:01:04.415-07:002016-07-28T21:01:04.415-07:00Wow.
