Sitting quietly in the courtroom of Taunton District Courthouse at nine A.M. a packed audience, comprised mainly of journalists,  jumps up duteously.  His Honor has entered the room.  Massachusetts Taunton District Court, a newly constructed building, opened in 2011.  Bright, clean, sunny and spacious, the ambience seems intended to help placate its visitors; the masses of unfortunate souls who pass through the glass enclosed entrance many enduring the darkest times of their life.  A trial concerning a suicide strikes a collective nerve.

Michelle Carter is in court this week being tried for involuntary manslaughter for influencing 18-year-old Conrad Roy into committing suicide in July 2014.  There is more than one reporter live tweeting the trial and some very interesting information is being shared.

One new revelation is that Carter chose to not have a jury in her trial but only a judge decide her fate.  Another new insight is Carter has her own mental health issues that she was seeing a therapist for at the time of Roy’s suicide.  This was new news to the prosecutor who seemed skeptical about it.

Meredith Kercher was a  beautiful, happy, young woman who was thrust into the world news (and tabloids) due to her death and the depravity of the monsters who attacked her.  It is no exaggeration to describe her as a rising star.   She was mature, ambitious, loved and admired by the many people whose lives she touched.   Even now Meredith’s inner light radiates so brightly  that those held responsible for her demise still bask in the outer fringes of her glow, in the dim fumes of infamy.

While Amanda Knox relives her lesbian experiences in prison (ten years ago) in the mainstream media, her ex-flame Raffaele Sollecito boils over on Italian television.  Too humiliated to face the public, Raffaele fired away from the telephone about the Florence courts recent verdict.  On February 11, 2017 the Italian court rejected his request for half a million euros compensation for ‘wrongful imprisonment.’  The judges stated that because Raffaele lied to the police, causing his arrest, he cannot receive compensation.
