Despite what we're seeing now I disagree. I think there will be a huge push from a lot of people to prosecute.

As a surprise my son and his girlfriend dropped by from college yesterday for my birthday. My husband played a role in orchestrating it. Extremely sweet! Aren't they all (including my husband) cute?
