Maria Korp

Korp family abandons posthumous conviction bid. :

"'It is felt that with everything else that has happened to the Korp family this year, a formal court order granting a deemed conviction would not assist the members of the family getting over the experience they've been through.'"

True. I don't think I have heard of anyone being posthumously convicted of a crime. He was charged with attempting to murder his wife and his mistress is in jail after she was convicted. This whole sad and sorry case of Maria Korp being left in the car boot to die and then never coming out of the coma she was found in never stops twisting and turning. Her estranged husband was found hanged. This was after they had removed the feeding tube and allowed Maria to die. She had been kept alive for a while. If nothing else it gave her family a chance to come to terms with all that had happened and in the end the son lost two parents and the daughter lost her mother. He didn't get to trial. Have they had the trial since? I still feel very sad she was found alive after the strangling and being locked int he boot, but never regained consciousness and the children, the boy especially have such a burden to carry at this point in their lives. From where I sit the official people involved have shown a considerable amount of common sense and compassion. I suppose the legal twists and turns have been about trying to help the family who were caught up in the madness of it all and left in tragic tatters.
