“That Friday, Matt, Stacy, and Bryce walked into a courtroom at the Charles Evans Whittaker Courthouse in downtown Kansas City. They sat on the right side, with Runnels’s family and friends on the left. The judge read the count, and Runnels sat on the stand facing the crowd as he accepted the plea. The hearing lasted no more than 30 minutes. It was emotional for both sides. The Masters weren’t expecting to see the dashcam video that day, but shortly after court adjourned, Ketchmark invited them to a conference room. Finally, the Masters thought, they were going to get some closure and understand exactly what went wrong.”

They didn’t see the video till after the sentencing!? WHY?! I would have DEMANDED to see it immediately! I literally cried watching it. They probably would have had a second sentencing if it had been my kid and I had seen that video any earlier. WTF. He got off way to light with the plea as far as I’m concerned. He shouldn’t have been able to plea it down period.

That was not justice served.
