NO Amy we have not heard anything about that case.
I know around here we have a couple of big news items going down around here. Not aspie/autsim related but they are still big stuff here and I am sure you haven't heard much about them where you are either.
One is the White case where an African-american man shot and killed a white teen because the man was afraid that the teen and his friends were out to lynch his teenage son.
The other is the Martin Tankloff case. Where almost 20nyears ago, when this man was 17 he was accused of brutally accused of killing his parents. And finally he has been released because the aquiltal courts said that the police and DA's office held back info and when new info came forward that might have clear Marty they swept it under the rug.
Quick note to Paula.. Don't know if you have ever seen some of the coverage of the Tankloff trial and all. Or even read the paper. But looking back I know that kid was railroaded. And even knowing now what i know about the "specturm" I am wondering if Marty Tankloff was somewhere on the rainbow.
DH reads the news sites for IL (and every where else we've ever lived) and said something about this yesterday. I had forgotten all about that case until he mentioned it. We had heard all about it when it happened but there really hasn't been anything on our news about it this time around. Weird.
Since I only live a couple hours away I remember reading about it in our local paper back when it happened. I don't get the paper now so I didn't even realize the trial was going on. Very sad.
I remember the McCarron case when it happened. That was just awful. God forgive me, but I hope that woman fries for what she did to that little girl.
Rina,
I didn't live in this country at the time of the original trial, but I did some reading and I do wonder if young Marty had some social deficits -at very least.
Before Amy gave some links I googled this and what I read (just a little bit) basically said she was upset that her child wasn't progressing the way she wanted her too.

Amy,
I didn't come on board here till Oct 2006 so I am not aware of this trial.
