Scott Turow on killer Brian Dugan

Yesterday a DuPage County grand jury indicted Brian Dugan for murder in the Jeanine Nicarico case.

The vicious crime occurred in 1983, and to say the story is complicated is understating the issue enormously.

Instead of rehashing every detail of the case here--which would take hours, I'd like to focus on this comment from author and uber-liberal Scott Turow, from the Chicago Sun-Times:

"I hope the jury that ultimately considers Brian Dugan's fate bears in mind that whatever horrible acts he committed, he somehow had the strength of character to take responsibility for a murder for which other men had been sentenced to death," Turow said.

Strength of character? This already-convicted killer is a monster.

The Sun-Times article does a pretty good job of summarizing the Nicarico case.
