Sarah, this song will always make me think of you! Justice will never be served for you as no one stood up and told your story, and we all know there is so much more to your story! I for one am sorry and wish I could have done something, anything, you will forever be in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers! I am happy you do not have to suffer anymore. I can't even imagine how scary that must of been for you.
RIP, you will never be forgotten!!!
I wrote this poem thinking of you
As the gun rises to my head
I think about how it'd feel to be dead
As I try to reason with the guy holding the gun
I wonder if I'll be under the ground or up near the sun
As my brains pour out onto the ground
The people all watch as my body goes down
81-95 the day I was born to the day I died
I shouldn't have done it, I shouldn't have lied
Everyone was there and gathered around
As they buried my body into the ground
Eleven-year-old Sarah Dutil was discovered by her mother in a garbage dumpster on January 21st, 1994, near the apartment where she had been babysitting overnight. She had been sexually assaulted, beaten around the face, and strangled. Her throat had been slashed and she had been stabbed through one eye. Timothy Dale John Cobb (30) pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for twenty-five years.
The Timothy Cobb trial fiasco represents another hideous miscarriage of justice. Timothy Cobb is clearly the quintessential dangerous offender. With an extensive juvenile record Cobb attacked two disabled men with a knife in 1983, inflicting multiple stab wounds, and was charged with attempted murder. The sentencing judge described him as a 'Psychopath, who in the opinion of experts, constitutes a serious danger to society.' A psychiatric report, prepared for the court concluded that there was 'no solution except for prolonged imprisonment.' He was sentenced to nine years in prison. In point of fact all of his subsequent offenses, with the exception of the murder of Sarah Dutil, took place while he should still have been in custody.

I just saw your comment! Thank you for your thoughts! I HATE how the media always has to put things about her parents or anything like that! True or not it doesn't matter all it does is take away from the tragedy that happened! Pointless information (or lies)! Like who cares if she had a boyfriend, it doesn't mean her mom allowed it and even if she did, what difference does it make? Anyway thats my vent... :) I also think he should have been punished rather than jailed! Atleast he got time though unlike some others! Although he should of got time for it the first time and then Sarah'd still be here!
