on them all. As distant as the fans are from all this horror, it still feels the opposite. If I can't bear to think about what happened, what hell it has to be for the family.

As galling as it might seem, I suspect a judge will find that some estate funds may legally need to go toward his defense--given the son was undoubtedly in the will. I won't even say it will be interesting to see what is decided because it is such a continuing pain inflicted.
