Chapter 571 Lust & Found:>59

• Steve Dolan was evaluated by the court-appointed psychiatrist and found to be unfit to stand trial on the grounds of mental incapacity, and was sent to Atascadero, Casey signing the committal papers without a qualm. After what he'd tried to do to an innocent baby, and done to her in the past, she would have strapped him in the chair and pulled the switch herself if she had the opportunity. She still felt the horror and helpless outrage swell up in her, hot and powerful, whenever she thought about what he'd threatened to do to that innocent baby.
• No, let him rot in that scary place, penned-up together with all the other crazies and violent sexual predators; he was where he deserved to be, he was one of them, after all, so he should feel right at home. She'd never agree to his release; if necessary she'd swear to a judge on a stack of bibles that she considered him a threat to her life and family, anything to keep him caged-up in there forever.
• As it transpired, she didn't have to resort to that; six months after his initial committal, Steve Dolan was re-evaluated and this time was deemed to be fit to stand trial, and so he was transferred back to the jail at Santa Rita to await trial. Less than a week after he was transferred back, he was found dead in a shower room; he'd been viciously beaten and gang-raped, a bar of soap forced into his mouth to muffle his cries, and once his attackers had finished with him, they'd stabbed him several times through the neck and chest with a shiv carved from a toothbrush; whoever had done it had used such force it had snapped-off inside one of the puncture wounds. No perpetrator had been uncovered, and the case was listed as 'Under Investigation'.
