I'm pretty aware of these 2, secondhand thru some officers I was close to when this case/trial was going on. Brian Hood was exceptionally manipulative, and in his own demented way, charismatic.  Reali was very impressionable and easily controlled.  She is also good at batting her big brown eyes and turning on the charm.  As far as Ritter-this was just one more disappointment from a former DA that I actually voted for when he ran for Governor.  But only 1 time.
