Death sentence in California??? Get real. He will die of old age in prison before they juice him. Look to Texas for an example of how to administer swift justice.

While it's a relief that the killer can be brought to justice, it seems a little off saying it's a "Christmas present the community and the family has been looking for." Finding a missing child, yes, that is a gift, a murderer coming forward who may face the death penalty, I dunno.

I agree this is not a Christmas present to the Lewis family.......why someone would make that statement is beyond me. There are now only more unanswered questions ... [portion removed by Palo Alto Online] What is the truth, the truth is what I want to hear. There are no winners in this tragedy, both families have lost, those of David's & Greg's.....

The following is a statement from San Mateo Police Department spokesman Sgt. Dave Norris, concerning any other persons implicated in the homicide of David Lewis:
"San Mateo police are confident that Gregory Elarms acted alone. Any other misperceptions out there are probably related to a follow-up investigation."

i dont think a man like my grandfather greg elarms should deserve death penalty or life in prison. i think the police should really look into the case and stop thinking they found the murderer because they dont have enough evidence to accuse my grandfather. just because he turned himself in doesnt mean he did the crime.
