Both women and their 19-year-old son were shot, and one of the women was brutally stabbed 47 times. Rivers then set their garage on fire, adding to the horror of the crime.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis is the most depraved crime I ever handled in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-please-pardon-jon-woods-a-victim-of-process-crimes-like-michael-flynn\/\" title=\"President Trump, Please Pardon Jon Woods, a Victim of Process Crimes Like Michael Flynn\">criminal justice system<\/a> in 33 years.
