I sure pray that they do a better job than Cass County State Attorney.

Hopefully the Watkins family will see justice finally!!!! served and get the much needed closure they are so needing!

My prayers are still on going for the Watkins family!

Great news for this family,this should have been done a long time ago.Like in the begining.In anything but a capital murder case,I can see where these things can happen,but it is way past time to take care of this mess.

What is wrong with this picture when a family has to raise money to find justice for the death of their son. We live in one of the greatest places in the world and this family has to deal with the fact that their son is gone and NO ONE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT is doing anything about this. You can bet if it was one of their love ones something would have been done long ago. I can not image the pain Slick and Penny must be feeling,I feel so sorry for them. I will keep them in my prayers.

Its about damn time that they do something..I mean its only been 7 months and still they dont know who killed that poor man!! You know its funny how there was a house full of people and no one saw this man get shot in the head. thats a little odd!! My thoughts and prays go out to his family!! I cant wait for the day that this case is closed, and the family will finally be at peace!! And I also agree that BTOWN cops do suck!! I am from there, and finally moved about 2 years ago!!
