The judgment, however, was met with criticism, especially from the victims' families, who also criticized law enforcement for their failure to punish Kimbro in the earlier years, given that several women had filed s*xual assault complaints against him. Moreover, it took five years to convict him after the murders, even when DNA and circumstantial evidence connected him directly to the cases.
