The description of the bodies really didn't match what the police found at the scene. I think this is a guy who is desperately trying to cover up what he had done, but really couldn't even get his story straight.

I don't think this is one of those sort of rage killings that happened on the spur of the moment. (And) there's a lot of evidence of premeditation in case, getting the weapon, the cover-up, the fact that he was returning the gun to the place he took it, from Rachel's stepfather.

It's really very simple. It's the 'formal charging instrument,' which is legal jargon to say it tells him exactly what he is charged with and what he's going to go to trial for. The purpose of the indictment is simply to put the defendant on notice so he knows what his defense will be.

It was reported yesterday that she identified two of the three men she said raped her with 100 percent certainty from photographic identification procedures. That's pretty good evidence when you consider there were 46 guys there.

A lot of people have wished hard that this day would've come a long time ago. I'm always getting a flood of calls about how John Conte was not doing the right thing. This is very good news.

At what point does it really matter. This is such a strong case. The statement to the police is going to kill him, and I don't know if you need much more than that.

Isn't it funny. One victim gets to dictate the result, the other gets the door slammed in her face.

There's no question that the charge would be first-degree premeditated murder. The grand jury could return an indictment in as soon as an hour after they hear this kind of evidence. It's that strong.

We are so awestruck (with DNA) that we don't take a moment to step back and say, 'Gosh, does it really matter in this case?' There is no such thing as defense at any cost. We need not be blinded by the idea that DNA is conclusive on the question of guilt or innocence.

The prosecutor is probably still trying to pressure some of the players to turn, getting more info from the victim and looking at more forensic evidence.
