May he rest in peace. He wasn't going to find any peace hanging around here. The poor man is now finally with his son and knows the truth.

Not a surprise. As though he lived long enough to get through this trial and gave up. He is at peace now, and hopefully, with his son. Truth is Truth, regardlesss of fallible Juries. God bless Father and Son. Free from all that trauma now.

My condolences to the McCabe family. Father and son are together now in peace. While one of the murderers got off, perhaps the other two won't and some measure of justice will be served. At least he lived long enough to see that the murderers were at least found and arrested. I'm sure the trial and reliving the hell he went through didn't help the poor man.
