speaking as a friend to all
we are all just grateful that we can have some closer on this horrible event that has effected the families of both john and seth. and though we all appriciate the prayers and thoughts just remember seth was justly tried and found guilty on all charges that applied. he did not know john and never had spoken to him. there for murder did not apply. he will do him time which is more time then he was offered by the state for copping out to manslaughter charges.
as for his oldest brother ian, he is a chef supervisor at a prominent restaurant and doing very well in his field.

Off topic but mrs.ksanchez seems to know the family a bit. I was curious what became of Seth's brother Ian. I worked with the kid for a while and while he had his problems, he showed real potential, and a true aptitude for cooking on an upscale professional level. Was just wondering where he's ended up and how he's doing.

he is a very lucky kid let me tell you. i personally think he should spend the rest of his life in jail. this was a clear case of 1st degree murder. he called john, and he had a gun. and if you think for 1 minute those girls didn't know what was about to go down you're wrong. why else would they have gotten out of the car? those girls should be in jail also.
i know juohn's mom personally and she is the kindest woman with a huge heart. this loss devestated her whole family. and mr cooper will be out in next to no time. where is the justice?there is and will never be justice for john. and that my friends is cruel.
