It's a great read.  For plenty of reasons, they're a lucky couple.  From personal experience, it was quite an honor to have his honor officiate my wedding.  I can't imagine how special it was for those two.

A truly wonderful sorry. Thank you, Judge.


I’d also encourage everyone to read the underlying feature about Sam that earned CJ Chivers a Pulitzer Prize.

There are several heroes who made all of this possible and I’m not in that group. The girlfriend who never gave up and the ex-Marine journalist, with commendable efforts of a retired Judge and a prosecutor with heart did the legwork. I helped out after the fact because I could and because I owed it to my nephew who was killed in the same war that disabled this young man. A real humbling experience, to be sure.
