More Justice for Dan

We have explained before our reasons for posting rarely about the criminal investigations and trials in the aftermath of our dear friend and colleague Dan Markel's murder: We want very much to celebrate and put the focus on his life, and not on his death alone. 

Despite that, we want to mark this important moment: the conviction of Charlie Adelson in Dan's senseless killing. It is one more step forward in providing a measure of justice for Dan, for his children, for his family and friends, his students, and so many others whose life he touched in his time with us. That justice does not assuage our sense of loss and grief. But it is good and right that justice be done. We're grateful to the prosecution for its years of hard work, and hope and trust that it will not rest until everyone involved in his murder has been brought to account for it.
