Most recently at the family home in williamsburg, virginia. Right now thief been seeking to stays of up to 24 days, and pending before the judge has been a request from the family to allow him to stay there fulltime if those temporary stays go well.

They could say, yes, he was wounded, but there was that set off a chain of things. One thing connected to another. Is it a direct enough cause, or is it too indirect to sustain, you know its one thing for the coroner to say his death is a homicide. Its another thing for a swrir to say that. You know, again, these are all decision that the federal authorities are going to have to make. We are a long way from that. This is something im sure theyre going to take some time.
