Sorry for your loss. But at least he cleared his conscience. Sorry he had to go through the stress as well. It might take decades, but they will reap what they sow.
Honestly, I doubt that they will reap what they sow. I repeatedly told him to give up on the case specifically for the reason, so he should have known what he was getting into. I'm also not terribly sad at his death, I think it's just my personality. Thank you for your consideration.
