Bill Happ was not a child who made a mistake. He was 24 years old.

William Happ smashed Angela Crowleys car window and kidnapped her. He beat her, raped her and strangled her with her pants before throwing her body into a canal. That was not an act that took a moment. Do you think Happ sat down and thought "Damn that was stupid, what did I do that for?" Was that an appropriate response?

He denied committing rape, murder and disposing of her body like garbage for 24 years. Her family and friends will no longer have to go through endless appeals and denials of responsibility, reliving that brutal act each time. Something has been accomplished.
