Mark Barden, whose 7-year-old son was killed, and William Sherlach, whose wife was killed, told a crowd Tuesday on the steps of the Bridgeport courthouse that they can wait and plan to take the trial all the way, reported the Connecticut Post. Last week, a Superior Court judge upheld their case to go to trial, said the Connecticut Post.
