In
Rutland this week,
12 jurors will begin to hear the case of Brian Rooney, who is charged with raping and
murdering UVM student Michelle
Gardner-Quinn in 2006.
This I Believe
features an essay written by slain UVM student Michelle Gardner-Quinn.
Gardner-Quinn wrote the essay, “A Reverence for All Life”, for a class
assignment two days before her death. It is read by one of her UVM
professors, Cecilia Danks, and was featured during the recent “Live
Earth” concert and broadcast on Weekend Edition Sunday, on August 5.
