@a33596193_c@slantrockX@BrianEntin While I agree with most of your post, Nik Cruz was caught on video and admitted to the crimes and that jury still gave him life, not DP. Things happen. He could have slithered away with the same outcome after a trial that would have been difficult for the victims.
@DaniAhnDirect I just don't think some of the families understood that the purpose was to speak to the judge, not BK. You could tell by Xana's dad turning away from BK to talk to the gallery, not the judge. I do hope that the process was cathartic for them and they can begin their healing.
Messages from Matt and the band:
After 27 fantastic years, I have taken my final steps down the drum riser for the mighty Pearl Jam. Much love and respect to Jeff, Ed, Mike and Stone for inviting me into the band in 1998 and for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime, filled with friendships, artistry, challenges and laughter. I am forever grateful to the crew, staff and fans the world over. It’s been an incredible journey. More to follow. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Peace and Love,
Matt Cameron.

Message from the band:
From being one of our first musical heroes in the bands Skinyard and the mighty Soundgarden, to playing on our first demos in 1990, Matt Cameron has been a singular and true powerhouse of a musician and drummer.
He has propelled the last 27 years of Pearl Jam live shows and studio recordings. It was a deeply important chapter for our group and we wish him well always. He will be deeply missed and is forever our friend in art and music.
We love you Matt.
@DaniAhnDirect Is this a solid thing though and not some delay tactic? Like, "well this wasn't signed and after further thought he wants a trial but the news has reported to the whole world that he admitted guilt, how can we ever get a fair trial now?"
@LawyerYouKnow Delphi intrigues me the most because it's not certain if he is the person who committed the crime. Boone definitely did it. 🤷♀️ She's a dumpster fire to watch but it gets old.
