We never thought we would bring you a case where we would have a hard time having empathy for the victim....but Amber has done it. Ken McElroy was a real crap bag of a human in the 1980's.....and he literally went through his small town raping children, thieving everything and shooting people all while NEVER being convicted...so what is a town to do to seek justice? Why they gather their torches and pitch forks and create their own justice.

It is no secret that the justice system is flawed, but how Gregory Green from Michigan was able to murder his wife only to be released to do it all over again is beyond us.
