No link yet, but Florida prosecutors have apparently reduced charges against Nowak from attempted murder to attempted kidnapping. They may have decided that they couldn’t get twelve to agree to the guilt of the murder rap. I also suspect that it may be plea bargained to probation and a lot of therapy and observation.

That of course raises the question of what the purpose of such a kidnapping would be. Hard to imagine it was for ransom.

OK, I know that this is deplorable, but you shouldn’t judge a woman until you’ve driven 950 miles in her diaper…
