David Stephan said it has been nine years since his son Ezekiel died and it was eight years ago he and his wife were charged.
“It has been absolutely life consuming,” Stephan said in an interview.
“It’s somewhat of a relief in relation to not going back to trial again although there was a part of me as well that would have liked to go back to trial and been able to dig in more to the missing evidence and all that we still haven’t had provided to us eight years into it.”
Stephan successfully represented himself at the second trial.
