So many unnecessary deaths
So I was reading the new about the Yale student that was murdered and then reading comments about the guy who is currently convicted of her murder, it's just so interesting to hear that his friends say how nice of a person he is and how they're so shocked. I'm not saying it's a bunch of bullshit, but it sort of makes you wonder how trustworthy the person next to you is. I mean, I'm in no place to say he's guilty or innocent, but it would be far worse to me if he is guilty because of how unlikely of a killer he seems to everyone around him.
This reminds me of a case that happened much closer to my home in Cincinnati, with Ryan Widmer. I don't get gut feelings very often, but when I do, they're usually right. I first heard of the Ryan Widmer case probably while watching Fringe on Fox and for some reason, the entire case struck me as off. I followed through trial after trial on the news and saw Ryan's face in shock when his verdict was read "guilty". Since then, I hadn't thought much of it, since I can't do anything about it, but hearing of Annie Le's case caused me to see how Widmer's case was going. The Facebook group I had joined announced that Ryan was free. In this case, I was incredibly elated to find this out.
I did some research on Raymond Clark III and the evidence so far is against him. I'm not sure what to make of it, but the guy seems like a totally softie with his girlfriend and dog. It might be a case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time, which I hope it is for his case but at the same time for Annie's family, I hope they find closure if it is him. Many of the articles contain interviews with people who worked in the building saying that Clark was acting suspicious and hiding things, but I also wonder if the news of a murder makes everyone's actions seems little strange.
There's just been so much random violence lately that it's really difficult to ignore. I don't have a gut feeling on this case but for some reason, when someone is a suspect in such a heavy crime, I feel like the weight of it hangs over my head as well. Maybe it's because I know everyone else will turn a blind eye towards what him (if he's innocent) or his girlfriend and family may be feeling, because guilty or innocent, it must be incredibly painful to see a loved one shoved into this kind of circumstance.
Whatever happens will happen. But I really couldn't sleep with all this on my mind.
