Police ended up finding the Emerson girl that has been missing from Vogel State Park. Thank God for that so the family can have some degree of closure. It hurts me that we don't live in as safe a place as we think.
I read on AJC.com that Hilton will seek an insanity plea. I feel safe in this because my CJ degree tells me that less than 1% of insanity plea-seekers actually get it. This is due to the fact that it is actually a not guilty plea. There are several boring books on the topic if you are interested.
Certainly nobody is to blame except the guilty party (Hilton is still innocent until proven guilty). I feel guilty that our society, or at least my sub-culture, had not informed the poor Emerson girl about her right to carry a firearm for personal protection. Situations like this are the reason I put up with constant jokes from family and friends and the extra responsibility of carrying concealed. I will be in court claiming self defense and the "insane" can plead dead.
I know from scripture that God is beyond our human understanding and I know that everything is forgivable. I struggle with the fact that the guilty party has a chance to accept Christ, but it is just that. Fact.
