And the torture she endured for months before they finally boiled her alive one night was more than anyone should ever have to endure. The images we had to look at during that trial, the testimony of the coroner, everything made it a living nightmare. I made eye contact with Veronica fairly regularly. I saw no remorse, other than that for being caught. She played the victim card and blamed her husband, her father, her mother, any relative she could think of. Then, at the penalty phase of the trial, they trotted in the bible thumping prison missionaries who claimed that she had found Jesus and was a changed woman. It made me physically ill. The experience haunted me for months afterwards, and still does to this day.
