Interesting Billboard

I did a little research on the net and this is what I found. Sometimes you don't have much of a choice. The picture below is of Mr. Page stomping on kicking flowers on his wife's grave. That and what the jury found, I think the billboard is appropriate.

The Page case

A billboard on Interstate 10 in Orange County still stands sentinel to a high-profile criminal case that resulted in a sizable civil judgment against a suspect in a still-unsolved Vidor slaying.

Kathy Page was found May 14, 1991, in her still-running car, which was head first in a ditch.

The dead woman had been beaten and strangled.

Investigators identified her husband, Steve Page, as the prime suspect in the slaying, but two grand jury investigations concluded without an indictment.

Kathy Page's family, believing Steve Page killed her after she left him only two days before, brought the civil lawsuit against him.

After two mistrials, a third jury in October 1999 found in the family's favor by a margin of 11-1.

The jury awarded Kathy Page's relatives $200,000 after finding Steve Page financially liable for her death.

Kathy Page's father, who still hopes for criminal prosecution of his daughter's killer, has maintained the billboard expressing his displeasure with the investigation for years.
