I agree with celticmistwryr. I am Matthew's mother. Those two murderer's said in the courtroom that they didn't know why they did what they did. Nothing was ever investigated on the missing choir money Juan was responsible for. Justice served? Try having someone murder your best friend, first born and only son and see if justice would be served when the murderer's parole comes up. They took the life of a truly good person who cared about other people. They even taped themselves having a party afterwards celebrating what they had done. They were only sorry they got caught. Jose had just gotten out of jail and Juan had been kicked out of all the other schools in the area along with being in and out of drug rehabilitation with his mom more than once. These are truly EVIL people which there are far too many in the world. We need stricter punishments so this type of thing happens less to your loved ones.

I am personally very happy with this verdict. I was talking to my partner recently, wondering what had become of this case. We were concerned it had been dropped or swept under the rug. Justice has been served. I was a barista at Starbucks, and was fortunate enough to develop a friendship with Matt. I still remember his drink. When his students came in to tell us that he had died, we were all in shock. RIP Matt, and know that justice has been served!

Remorse? Just how far does remorse go to restoring the life they took? Their remorse is that they were caught. Otherwise they would be reveling in the rep of being killers. Remorse is meaningless and an insult to the intelligence of any rational person. Corrections in this case MUST be limited to quarantining them, like the ebola virus, from the rest of us. My only objection is that they will be costing us money to quarantine them. Execution would be much better. We lose nothing, they would not suffer languishing in prison and we would save the money spent to incarcerate them.
