I feel that justice should be served to the fullest but I pray that God give peace to the family of the victims as well as the suspects families because even though most of so couldnt imagine doing such a thing at one point even the murderers were someone child! They are very lost people who even if they spent the rest of their lives in jail the need the love of Christ! I pray the peace only God can give to them all!

I believe that they will have to do a change of venue but where? This story made world news. Office Chief Deputy Bill Chavers knew the suspect in question. Doesn’t this present a conflict of interest? So, how many people has Leonard Patrick Gonzalez, Jr. “whacked” in the past?

i have no doubt that the defense attorneys are preparing for a “change of venue” request….as horrific as this entire event is, there is NO way that these defendants can get an unbiased, fair sampling of jurors from the north west florida area….possilbly down in some remote area of south florida …maybe near the everglades….however, im not sure if the “gonzales” name would unfairly influence potential jurors in the highly hispanic populated area of, lets say, the miami area…

I want to know if they ever found out who was suppose to turn the cameras off?
I think that is what really brought about these arrests.

Parents that have special needs children put their children to bed early because they sometimes do not sleep all night. I have a child that is not special needs his bed time is 8. I hope no one think that this is wrong he is a early bird. Why did the animals have to shoot these people that many times .I hope that the shooter sees the faces and hears these children ever time that he closes his eyes. They will never forget what they saw.

What kind of prosecutor or sheriff would release any of this to the public before the trial? Its not smart. Why has it become such a popular thing to give details about crimes. All the public really needs to know is that two people were murdered and the authorities have made several arrests. I feel that the families should NOT have to deal with everyone knowing how many times their mother and father were shot in the face, legs and back. Can we please start having respect for humans again.

The releasing of all this “evidence” to the news media, as has been the norm in this case, gives the defense attorneys ammunition for a change of venue, or an argument that their clients cannot possibly receive a fair trial. This is a problem with cases of this magnitude. Do not expect this case to be tried in Escambia County, or if it is, appeals forthcoming based on the fact that the defendants did not receive a fair trial. Hopefully those appeals will not be successful.

thank you citizen, i am so sick of people pointing out this one trivial point regarding the billing’s 7pm bedtime. hello, there were small children in the home. some people, believe it or not like a routine and getting up early in the morning keeps the family’s schedule on track. that many children and there had better be a pretty regimented schedule.
