Gary Ridgway’s trial and conviction finally put many people’s fears and hard work to rest. After 20 years, the families of the victims as well as the dedicated detectives finally got the justice that they deserved. Once police were able to secure the evidence, bringing a close to the investigation and wrapping up the trail was a breeze. Ridgway tried his best to avoid being caught and found guilty, but I believed he knew it was only a matter of time before he lost. The risk of being charged with the death sentence obviously sped up this reaction. Deciding to exchange every detail for a life without parole charge was a smart one, even though it angered many. Many families and the public believed that he deserved the death penalty. But it is a strong possibility that if he would of received it, he wouldn’t have ever given the police the locations of the other bodies, preventing families from getting the peace they have deserved for 20 years.
