And tormented their family. I'd be just as pissed and Ric didn't have to take that case. That being said, for Heather to just be released without a formal hearing, a re-trial or something where the victims families can be heard and expert medical testimony seems ridiculous to me. Ric is getting all the blame but I'm sure Laura will get a lot of it as well.
Is Heather getting released just to end up murderd? They might just be releasing her to do a murder mystery. Half the town wants her dead and we have Curtis planning something and Dex saying he wished he had killed her.
