It’s about time an intelligent District Attorney was put on this case.  Former lacking DAs is the reason for the case being dragged on for so long.  Alex is a criminal and deserves everything that is to come - life in prison.  Rapists don’t show their dark side to the public. Their own families don’t even know it!  May justice be served.
