My heart breaks for situations like these. A man's life was forever altered and another man's life was forever altered. One man was the perpetrator and will need to be held accountable, but he had previously been the 'victim' of an awful family situation which messed him up as a child. He lived with us as a teen and really didn't have the resources or support to take another path in life. May God help each man.

I know the victim in this horrible crime and I'm so sad for him and his family. My deepest regrets ans paryers are going out to them. I hope that the victim pulls thru so we can tell him one more time how much we care for him. I hope the system locks this man up and he never gets out.
