Last week, 29-year-old Shawn Shrick was convicted of brutally killing his father’s girlfriend, Margaret Dahl, and her mother, Phyllis Porter, in 2019.  There is no dispute he killed them.  He stabbed Margaret 20 times.  This week, he received his sentence.  And then immediately walked out of jail a free man.
