...one thing with this case for me though is that it's such a great example of the death penalty just never being a thing ever...it's so long to be carried out anyway to allow for possible new evidence to come to light... so then would seem pointless because rehabilitation in that time is so possible also...it's an easy kneejerk with heinous crimes such as this, I understand that...but it's just always wrong for me....

Oh yeah the ice Cream van guy. Was he the one who had asked Pam for a photo of Stevie? Who was that actually and again going back to the weirdness of these people, imagine some guy asks for a photo of your 8 year old son and you give it to him? How odd
