This matter is horrible, I hope the victim does not have to testify again.
I realize that the accused has a right to representation and a trial but given that he already admitted guilt to the police I do not understand why his lawyer did not go for some sort of plea bargain.

Todd Burpee was a good human being however the evidence given and the nature of the crime the most obvious choice would be taking a deal of 25 years to life sadly
