well it's cool that they finally can close the case but i dont understand this.

"Goodwin was arrested in 2001 when he returned to the United States and has been held without bail."

so for 6 years he was held w/out bail? and they just now convict the guy.
i don't get what took so long for a conviction. any how they got their man!!

he was denied bail as a flight risk. then all the legal manuvering made it take this long to finalize the case.
i remember it made the news when he was arrested. but i had forgotten about the whole thing. good to see some justice.
