I'm Patricia Shelton A friend of Christopher Trotter.
I'm writing today as plea of justice/freedom for Chris to all of you that send encouraging words and sentiment.
Chris needs people in his life not only to write but to take action in his call for freedom/release from the belly of the beast that he was unfairly sentenced to, see him as your son/daughter walking down the hallway at school trying to get to class before the bell sounds but notices a fellow classmate being bullied or mistreated by another student or teacher. OK! as I was raised my inner conscience will take place and hear the words of my parents say if you see someone being hurt or in danger step up and help out it's the right thing to do. Your Son/Daughter just did and trying to keep the classmate from any further abuse, things are getting out of hand before you know it the whole school is in a uproar. Judge I was just trying to help! it's my senior year of high school! I'll be going to college soon! I have big plans for my life, no one was killed or placed in a wheelchair for the rest of they'er lives they get to go home and prosper. Judge says you are a disgrace to society and I sentence you to 142 years case closed. Hey free world! Christopher Trotter has served not only his time but he has served our country in the United States Armed Forces, Christopher deserves a second chance of life, he sure has helped save mine.
Please stand with me in getting Christopher's call for release out to the rest of the world to hear/help.
We don't want this to become one of our loved ones possibly making a wrong turn in life and then being judge to serve a sentence that none of us could bare.
Reading this made me so sad. You live in a world I can't even fathom. Thank goodness for a program like Between the Bars so that blissfully ignorant people like me can be jolted awake.
You're a good writer. I just barely discovered your posts on BTB but I find your voice intriguing. And more than that, I know that you are someone who matters, and I wish so much that something I could do could help you in your situation.
Instead, I must echo what the others have said - you are not alone. Find solace in your writing and in knowing that there are people out there who care. Take care of yourself. Pray.
This was beautiful. I hold different religious beliefs than you but I can certainly still recognize that. I admire you for finding peace and enlightenment in less-than-ideal circumstances. The world needs more people like you.
