The Reach Is Far and Wide

I would never post anything that could potentially have any repercussions on the upcoming Roseboro trial.
I have kept confidences and sometimes posted very vaguely as is required.
But I have been speaking in recent weeks with someone who led me to avenues where I was able to learn just how far and wide the effects of this tragedy really are.
Families and individuals who thought their interaction with Mike and/or Angie was years in the past will now have to relive it all.
Even instances and circumstances that didn't appear to be all that important way back when will now rise to the forefront and take on a quite different "caste".
It's clear how this tragedy has affected those in the families and even their friends.
But what is shocking how far the ripple effect reaches.
Families totally unrelated and feeling secure have now been thrust into this horrific and sickening chain of events.
There is so much more that will be revealed at the trial if the current plan is maintained.
There isn't time or room for much alteration at this point.
Mike and Angie created quite a storm with a few basic choices.
They have cost so many people happiness and a sense of trust and security.
As was said to me this week, it is going to take years for some people to get over and deal with this. And they aren't even related.
The repercussion are more than scary.
So many innocent people have been hurt and affected.
No verdict, no apology will ever make it right.
