I tend to agree with always being one person LOL, but back on topic if what im reading is right then the laws which stand should fall into place and normal procedures done which are there.
Fact of matter applies though even after court etc is that it happened

no amount of consuelling will ever sort out that problem.
Methods should not just be in place to deal with aftermath but to help prevent such a thing from happening.
Although doing the above thing would be a feat untold
