4 Years to Life -II
Time is drawing near to this new trial. Every day it seems news reports of this killer's events of the day or how he lives his life behind bars taunt me and prick my core. I say, he is living and two of his victims are no longer allowed to live their lives... He didn't give them a chance to live. So, do we care if he sees the light of day or has the opportunity to see the moon in the evening sky? Why do we want to know if he is allowed to participate in the rehabilitation of prisoners? He isn't - by the way since he is on death row. Yet, we are given this report as it may somehow be important...?
I recall the day he was released from prison after his attack on me and knowing of his extended rap sheet that told of breach of trust, theft, and the list goes on - kidnapping and aggravated assault with intent. Yet, he walked out of prison and within 9 months he had pursued a new life of lies, deception that was so quickly in the works; he was capable of misleading his new victims resulting in murder, rape and a National Media Man-Hunt!
Now, this is not one with a "brain defect" as his defense attorneys would have us believe. It is however the mind of a narcissistic, psychopath that is capable of manipulation and calculating behavior. So much the need in him for praise and admiration that he allows another trial for murder to take place when he should plead guilty and save the people of whom he has harmed beyond his own imagination the pain of enduring this ordeal again! To face him once more, for me is agony. It has been 13 years and 9 months since he turned his violence on me - yet I still live it daily.

Welcome to STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN and CHILDREN
Have you imagined a world without violence?
I have and do on a regular basis. As I watch the growing problem with child abductions, child abuse, battered women and unfortunately, murdered women and children; I pause to ask "why do we continue to see this problem increase in its intensity?" and I pray for a manner in which ceases this growth and reverses the pattern.
We can act by demanding better laws be put into place against these attackers, making a conscious effort to be more alert, and to learn how to fight back. It is our responsibility to fight for improved laws so that we hold these predators and violent attackers to face severe and harsh punishment.
Being a survivor of an attack and having lived in a mentally challenging relationship; I have a real passion for those who are suffering daily and a desire to protect those who are in danger of their spouse, parent or a stranger taking the step of violence against them.
I ask you to share your story, your concerns and your ideas as well as posting any known and valid resources to assist in helping Stop this Violence against Women and Children.
Thank you for blogging with us.

Jen, It is without a doubt the most difficult thing to share these stories of my life. It is far less painful than those loved ones whom feel the loss of the ones taken by this man.
ReplyDeleteI truly believe that God has a place for me in this life or I too, would have been taken.
It is with so much appreciation and gratitude that you are reading this blog and remembering me this way. Don't forget to share this with any of your friends as we never know who may know of someone or be someone in an abusive relationship or has suffered because of one.
Thank you for your support.
Love ya-
