In the case of Dellen Millard and Mark Snitch, it's going to be in the news all week and if you listen to the parents... if people like that have no hope, why should their daughter's killers have hope?

We used to have something called due process in this country and now we've got a lot of one sided stories full of holes. The latest is this story we've been talking about involving a six year old student at John Fisher Public School where now the facts don't back the allegation that racism was at the root of what happened to this child.
