Thoughts? Also just a technical note since sometimes people on the internet get uncomfortable or upset when the term "expired" is used to describe someone's death- that is unfortunately the technical medical definition when someone passes away. Granted I'm simply copying and pasting what the state page says about the case but wanted to explain anyway just in case as I think they were simply just being technical in their summary. The main and most important thing is getting justice for Joseph.
