This was an interesting account of the brutal murder of a young woman, whose [alleged] murderer was shielded by the LAPDs "Big Blue Wall." The case has not come to trial yet, so it is not necessary that it take us all the way to the outcome. However, this Kindle short ends so abruptly that you don't realize the essay is over for a few moments as you try in vain to get your device to turn the page.According to a trial watch blog:*****Stephanie Lazarus Pretrial Hearing 11UPDATE September 29th:The next pretrial hearing is December 2nd, 2011. Sprocket.The Associated Press is reporting that the Stephanie Lazarus case has been postponed until January, 2012. Jury selection was originally slated to start October 24th, 2011.This is what happens when I totally miss a hearing. As soon as I know when the next pretrial hearing is scheduled, I will update this entry.Lazarus is accused of murdering Sherri Rae Rasmussen, the wife of John Ruetten, Lazarus' ex-boyfriend, in February, 1986. Prosecutors allege DNA evidence collected off of the victim's body and torn fingernails found at the scene link Lazarus to the murder*****So no, the outcome is not assured; however, DNA and other evidence *strongly* suggests Lazarus as the killer of Sherri Rasmussen.Final evaluation: Don't buy it.
