LJ is having issues, so I'm posting this here ...
Update on Triple Homicide Case - Steven Pyykola found GUILTY!
In a bit of catchup on this case, www.lebanondailyrecord.com/news/local/article_3627dda6-0526-11e2-bae7-0019bb30f31a.html the trial of Pyykola was held last week and wrapped up on Friday afternoon. Pyykola was found guilty of three counts of first degree murder and armed criminal action. Sentencing is scheduled for November 15th.

www.lebanondailyrecord.com/news/local/article_71a0a5a2-0733-11e2-8c46-001a4bcf6878.html - Remembering Zack "Napalm" Porter - Mother of murder victim recalls the life, death of her son.
On Benjamin Stidham's trial - it appears his trial is over as well. Taken directly from the website www.courts.mo.gov under the court record # 12LA-CR00820 - ST V BENJAMIN JAMES STIDHAM - it looks like he has pled guilty to a lesser charge of 3rd degree assault and has been sentenced to one year in jail. It appears to be a plea deal. Right now I have found no articles on this yet. Stidham was a juvy at the time of the murders and the Supreme Court made a ruling on charging offenders under 18 that they cannot be sentenced to life without parole or the death penalty.
Updates on this weekend's schedule will come later this evening...
