I have to quote what Mr James Hughes said yes this was a senseless act but you have think if you actually believe that Nathaniel was inoccent and did not know these people at all then I guess we will will have to see what the courts have to say why your son's apt was robbed and why he had 1,500 dollars on him and why he was killed in such a horrific matter, but as always we will find out what the connection was because I think your son did know Karin akinson but we are all innocent until we are found guilty is that fair enough to say.

PLEASE PRINT A RETRACTION!!! Your 3rd paragraph, "Ms. Hughes had previously been charged ..." SHOULD READ ATKINSON. I expect that you will do a better job proofing in the future. Jim Hughes
