I am so glad to hear this. I hope this brings a sense of justice to Sonya's family.

Take this joker, the person that killed Anne Presley, and the 4 idiots that killed the 2 young men at UCA, and skip the trial. I know we have due process in this country, but their victims didn't. I say strap them all to a gurney and find a good vein on them all. Have a good supply of that lethal injection juice and let it flow. A lot cheaper than a trial and housing them in our state facilities. Lord have mercy on their souls, because their ass belongs to the state of Arkansas.

Great news! Here's hoping an Anne Pressly murder arrest will be following soon behind.

Thank God. I really feel bad for her kids, who were there when she was killed. Condolences and prayers for them and her other family members. And may justice be swift.
