In May of 2011, Elliot Turner strangled his then girlfriend Emily Longley, killing her. He was convicted last May and was given a life sentence. His attorneys argued that evidence used in the case was obtained illegally. The judges dismissed the argument in five minutes. Turner's parents were also convicted and sentenced to 27 months in jail for perverting the court of justice. His parents got rid of a confession letter Turner wrote and took away crucial evidence for the case in attempt to save their son. I think this story is awful; it is terrible to hear about innocent people who's lives have been taken. His conviction is rightfully deserved; he committed a heinous crime.

I'm so glad that the conviction wasn't over turned
