They should either release him to the victims family or lock him up and throw away the key. What a sick P.O.S.

I was a juror on a trial of a man accused of a similar crime. After a 2 week trial the jury found the man not guilty in a very short deliberation. It is not helpful to anyone to jump to conclusions before evidence is heard. That is why our justice system says “innocent til PROVEN guilty beyond a reasonable doubt”. And for the record, the accused did not have a high priced attorney. He was represented by a public defender.
