Elizabeth, what this man has done is terrible. There aren't any words that are strong enough to describe how wicked and evil he is!

Because, yes, this will probably go to trial and some kind of sentencing will be given to him and that wicked woman. But even if that's true, you may never feel like justice has been served or that true restitution has been made ...
