Cold Case

There really is no justice, there is only the law. Those of us who have had our children murdered know that no amount of time the offenders receive is enough. I'll give this guy his 'innocent until proven guilty' assumption. I'm glad for the victim's family that there may be a chance, if he is convicted, that they can receive some small measure of closure. But the wound never heals. It scabs over, only to be ripped open again and again, with each memory, each thought of your child, and each time it happens to someone else's child.
Just a little thought within this post about the tax-I've got an idea--why don't we fire the incompetent, lazy, worthless cops at the IPD, and bring in some people who truly care and take seriously their oath to protect and serve? If we did that, we wouldn't need the tax. There are so many corrupt people employed within that department, from the very top to the bottom. There are issues that people have no clue about. The cops who neglected my son are still employed there. They haven't even been disciplined as far as I know. That department has botched so many cases over the years, and hurt so many people in the process. The incompetence is breathtaking. Just ask Tina Porter, John Clifford Gibson's family, and Summer Shipp's family.
 

Take it from someone who has personally experienced the frustration in attaining Justice for the crime of murder. Our family waited four years to see the case of my daughter's murder bring an arrest. This fact seen at http://www.stasia.org/ was revealed after such a long time despite the knowledge that the perp was one of four people at the murder scene.
I can only speak to the guilt or innocence of Mr. Sauerbry by acknowledging that a grand jury indicted him. There are lots of innocent people in jail awaiting trial for crimes they did not commit. Who knows what the grand jury was told or what the prosecutor can prove? There is so much intimidation that takes place in the process of custody. I've seen it myself. I've also seen the affect of being represented by an attorney who is incompetent, lazy and afraid to go to court. Both could result in the conviction of an innocent person. 
Justice is not always served. Prosecutors may be playing a game of strategy or public perception. Be aware that on more than several occasions that lawenforcement officials, who are appointed or "elected" will use extraordinary means to protect their reputations. It is not beyond their powers to abuse their authority to get the justice THEY feel they deserve. This is why the the accused has continual special protections against this abuse.
Having said that, there is the other side which the victims and their families have been put through hell waiting for law enforcement to do what they are supposed to do. Don't even imagine that 5% of the case look like what is seen on CSI. I was closely monitoring the case of my daughter's murder. I now have the "entire case" file of what the Jackson County Sheriff's Department did to resolve the crime. It is truly sad the number of "opporturnities lost" during that investigation.
Again, go to the Website and read it for yourselves. I suspect the Shipp family will now be denied the record which they may have previously been able to see, soley on the basis that Sauerbry is in custody and their case is "open". But if they could see it, they would likely be very disappointed. The person accused of the crime is supposed to get total access to the evidence against them. So now they don't need to tell him because he is already in custody for a different crime. 
Waiting for a reply. See http://www.stasia.org/
