    I don't get comfort from the sentence but I do get comfort from the conviction.

    But I also heard that she fought like a woman - hard - and that's the biggest comfort of all.

    Rest in peace, Jenny.

    Whatever the sentence (I don't want to debate the death sentence) I am glad her family has closure. Having a friend murdered I know nothing dampens the pain but knowing they were punished some way does help a tiny bit.

    I often ride the Silver Comet Trail and many times have ridden past the spot where he grabbed Jennie. It's a terrible tragedy that she died doing what she loved so much and there's really no punishment severe enough to pay for what happened to her.

    You know reading through these posts again something came to mind.
    I DO NOT want to get into the death penalty debate. BUT I do remember that Jenny and her family were devote christians. So I really wonder how they feel about the sentence.
    I do hope they have had some sense of closure. sigh.... so senseless!

    I will never attempt to put words into the mouths of others, but on the news coverage, her husband and son came across as "comfortable" with the sentence - not the right word, but the interviews seemed to convey that they were glad it was all over.

    I didn't know Jenny either, but saw myself in her - I rode countless hours and miles and miles out there until this happened.
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.
