Bonistall verdict overturned

Two years ago, the parents of Lindsey Bonistall, a 20-year-old college college student who was raped and strangled, talked about how hard it had been to attend the trial of her alleged killer, day and day, listening to testimony they could hardly bear to hear.
The process was brutal, her mother, Kathleen, said.
She was in the Delaware courtroom every day; her husband, Mark, was forced to take breaks to return to his job in White Plains.
Today, an appellate court in Delaware overturned the verdict and ordered a new trial.
Whatever the merits of the decision, the Bonistalls face an extraordinary difficult time again.
