The Halloween Murders
Today there was a ruckus at the Courthouse again. The verdict was due out for the so-called "Halloween Murders" of 2002, wherein five suspected gang members shot to death two victims and injured two others. The courthouse was abuzz this morning with discussion about the case. The courtroom was filled to capacity leaving many would-be attendees locked out. In the office of the court reporters there was discussion that they could have set up the recording equipment to hear it live down there if they'd thought of it beforehand. A small crowd of employees gathered around at the security station to watch the proceedings from the security camera view. There wasn't sound but it being an emotional event for those involved one could get a pretty good idea of what was going on based on body movements. Eventually I believe the defendants were found guilty of all fifteen charges.
The clicheness of "Halloween Murders" unfortunately makes it very difficult to search google for information on the case. )=
