The jury in the Aarone Thompson trial has still not reached a verdict, and it’s been over a week. They say the longer a jury is out, the more likely they are to acquit or to hang. But in this case they’re considering dozens of charges. I have confidence that they will do their duty.
A trial date has been set for Geralyn Graham, the accused murderer of Rilya Wilson. Rilya’s case gained national notoriety when it was discovered that she, a Florida foster child, had been missing for a year and a half without the Florida Department of Children and Families finding out. Geralyn was her foster mother. I’m a bit concerned about this case. Geralyn killed Rilya, I’m quite sure — but can they prove it? There’s very little evidence and a principal witness has backed out. Anyway, Geralyn is scheduled to be tried in March. She could face the death penalty if convicted.
Two suspects have finally been indicted in the presumed kidnapping and murder of Donald Dietz, a Michigan man who disappeared in September 2007. He was vulnerable — one account I read said he was autistic, though I’m not sure how they’d know — and he had a lot of money, and the police think these two guys killed him and stole his identity. Another article is here.

Oh, I hope they get a conviction in the Rilya Wilson case. That one’s been haunting me for ages. And I hope if she gets convicted that Graham finally divulges what she did to the body.
She’s listed as an “endangered runaway?” six years old? give me a break.
Convicted on 31 counts.

AWESOME! Maybe he’ll tell everyone what he (or Shely) did with Aarone’s body, so she can finally be laid to rest.
Aurora man found guilty on 31 counts in the disappearance and presumed death of daughter Aarone.
And I just read, today, that Jessica Lunsford’s killer died in prison. It’s a good day to be a child abuser, a special place in **** for them. Good that they will never be able to hurt another innocent victim.
