Wow - I missed the last ten minutes of Dateline - I guess my post looks dumb now. Based on what I saw on the show, I would not have convicted. But I did miss the last ten minutes, first of all, and second of all, maybe the jury heard evidence I didn’t.

**enipla** , I’m sorry if resurrecting this thread is too painful.

**bup** , don’t feel bad because that just sounds like a typical Dateline presentation, string you along in one direction and get you thinking it’s got to be that ‘angle’, then blindside you later (the last 10 minutes) with a different resolution altogether.

Sorry about your friend, **enipla**.

Yeah, I guess a happy resolution bump was too much to hope for. Sorry, **enipla**.

Thanks everyone. I’ve been out of town and not in touch with the news. It was a ton of circumstanstial evidence. And history. Justice served I guess. But a family torn. Poor kids. Poor Steph.
