Is the primary point that it took a "long time" to get any1 to believe him, or that a murder was committed? These headlines would make you think the former.

Cuz this was minor that some1 ignored them at 1st; it's not like the body was left for ages there. Please, no charges for the guard.

Let's concentrate on the killer.

If the guard had a reasonable excuse, like not wanting to leave the door unwatched, fine.

But from the details in the story, it looks as if there could have been considerable danger to the kid who discovered the body from a murderer anxious to eliminate witnesses.

Let's see, we have a school knifing here, with one fatality. Do you suppose it will reach the same national top-story news status as it would if there was a school shooting, with one fatality?

... because the school was on spring break.

perhaps if the school were on Easter break, there would be less killing... taking God out of school allows the devil to rule... teeman

This premeditated murder happened at least 1-1/2 months ago. This was big news in the Republic of Panama because Jaime Rodrigo was a Panamanian citizen (no doubt dual citizenship).

Its still not known (here in Panama) why Michael Hernandez murdered Jaime because they were best friends, they were both making top grades, and they weren't running around with a raunchy crowd.
