Another young man who will be lost in the court/prison system........... and two broken families left to pick up the pieces of the tragedy. So many walk this road........... SMH
Our prayers go out to the children of the deceased and now convicted murderer........ may they find comfort in the new lives being created for them by loving relatives

The swiftness of the justice system. Why did it take almost 4 years for this trial to finish?

Even though the wheels of justice seem to turn slowly, I think that this is proof that our system works.

Yea but this is so sad because only people really suffer is the children of both persons. And the family of the deceased who still have to face the family of the accused because they had children together. I can't begin to imagine what this family will now face...

In the scheme of things....... this is swift justice. However, if Pratt appeals, then we will see the system bog down and run out the max time for hanging
