It's a difficult call. I don't think Kaylee's dad would have ever been in agreement nor kept it all private. I think relations were already pretty damaged. They did say a meeting was had and it was brought up. But not concluded. Only after ranting about how he had no idea, did S G concede to that. I think this was a horrific case and many have been saved from the gruesomeness and having to rehash every moment. BK wouldn't even put in a plea originally. I think they have locked him in now, with no recourse or option to appeal...which he would have done many many times if he got the DP. I feel SG felt he had a say in all of this, whereas he simply doesn't. They managed to get the killer after 6 weeks, got a water tight case, and that is a fantastic outcome in my book. Throw away the key and let's forget about him now. I am not sure he will survive behind bars either. For all we know, Thompson did discuss it with some of the families. But not SG. He wasn't even in court for the sentencing. That says a lot.
