Level 4 · 10 hours agoThe part about the victims being labeled unclassified because of drug use hit hard. The system decided their lives mattered less before even trying. That calculus is exactly what let him keep going for nearly a decade.

Thierry
Level 3 · 10 hours agoThe part about victims being labeled 'unclassified' because of drug history is infuriating. Bound, raped, strangled. Unclassified.
