Closure (Maybe) From A Criminal Trial

Back in 2007 I had the good fortune of having a headache.  It was so bad that I decided to cash out after merely 30 minutes of play.  It was the best illness of my life.  That was the evening that armed robbers stormed a NY club and, in the process, shot and killed Frank DeSena, a 55 year old math teacher, husband, and father of a special needs son.  A few weeks ago the two remaining defendants were convicted of murder and robbery.  They are scheduled to be sentenced on June 22.  Two other participants already have pled guilty.  One is serving 15 years.  The other is awaiting sentencing.

I doubt it will, but hopefully this result will provide closure for the DeSena family.
