Tom Petty Was Right

The waiting is the hardest part.

No plea. 2nd plea hearing has come and gone. Still nothing. Awaiting independent psychiatric eval. My opinion? Bullshit delay tactics. He's obviously not entering a guilty plea. Even though he is. Guilty, I mean. He killed her. He shot her in cold blood at point-blank range. Rudy Fleming is his name. Nicole DuFresne was her name. I hope that someday his won't be inextricably linked with hers any longer. She deserves to be remembered for her own identity, her own life. Not for the way she was taken out of this world. Now we wait for January. Hopefully that will be the first step to freeing her memory from the pain of a reality where no one knows what her murderer's fate will be.
