Told you so! I knew he was guilty from the day the victim identified him. So, all you folks that attended church with him, don't tell me I'm too quick to judge. Just look at the eyes of this monster and see who he really is. I hope he will come clean on the cold case in E-town where he lived at the time the victim was murdered in a similar fashion as this one.
His victim is so incredibly strong. My prayers are with her and her family. My heart goes out to Mr. Pine's family also. With lots of prayers and counceling all may overcome what this evil man has done.
I've got to wonder how many more women Mr. Pine would have raped and tried to kill if this victim had not identified him. He left her for dead, but she miraculously lived!
Where did he clean the blood of himself before joining his neighbors to ooh and aah about this crime in his neighborhood? If the victim had died, he would have continued to attend church in an attempt to hide behind the Prince of Darkness he really is.
Twenty years? PLEEEASE....Women will need to run and hide when he is released in possibly 10 years. He will still be stong enough to weild that knife!
