22. I could just see people's heads exploding when reading that statement in
The New Haven Register. I usually don't like the REgister but it did a thorough job of covering the trial, which was conducted here in New Haven. It was traumatic reading about it day in and day out and reading the revelations about exactly how these guys went about killing their 3 victims. The two girls were alive when the killers poured gasoline over their bodies and set the fire. I can't imagine such an act of cruelty.

Dr. Pettit was at the trial every day. He is on medication but can not practice medicine (he was an endocrinologist) any more. It's amazing to me that the man has not committed suicide yet.

Now he has to go thru the same thing again with Komarsajevsky's trial. Perhaps Pettit will stick it out until he sees justice done with HIM. But after...well, I wonder...
