CNN Article about the assault I consider this a MUST READ. It goes into all the details of just how horrific it really was. Way beyond anything I would imagine, especially today.
I feel physically ill after making it to the gunshot. This is not the act of men, these subhuman pieces of trash are the same as some of the human rights atrocities we've claimed to inavde other countries for. 100% premeditated. There is nothing redeemable in that account.
Is there any info about how the story unfolded? I.E. what evidence was used against them. This was clearly not the first time they've covered things up. And I hesitate to believe the sherrif didn't know what was going on.
