It's Going To Be A Waiting Game

As of today, it seems Judge Cullen isn't planning on holding an independent hearing into the Facebook postings. I would like to think the issue is over.
Clearly, we cannot assume that. Mr. Sodomsky is thorough and professional. As I type I am sure his most talented paralegals are hard at work checking precedents.
We may see action from his camp in weeks to come.
Still, there is no longer a sense of real closure as far as the trial is concerned. Closure for the families? Never, really.
But with the verdict we came to expect that even with the normal expectation of appeal, there was point that was reached where some measure of healing could begin.
Now, it's a "waiting to exhale" situation all over again.
Only this time, it's worse.
The guilty verdict was handed down. And now, even if it's a million-to-one shot of a retrial, that verdict could be snatched out of the hands of those who loved Jan so much. And that feels even more cruel at his point.
It's certainly not the time to start slacking on the praying......
