We had to pick your (you and lyle's) pictures out of albums filled with peoples mug shots.I didn't get to see my mother for about 24 hours after seeing you turn your head and look over your right shoulder and look me directly in my eyes,(which by the way for some reason I thought maybe I was what triggered you to stop and run,since you to had a daughter)(my way of rationalizing this over the years) but then I remember hearing Ron yelling mother fucker you wanna play with knives??...blood was smeared down the walls and blood drenched the carpet and a man dying because you went overboard.The man who died(dicky)his heart stopped several times in our apartment and that sound of those shockers going off and his body thumping on the floor go through my mind often. Did you know (Ron-dickies brother) was also detained and was unable to go with his dying brother on his last ride, to the hospital. My mother and him were separated on the spot. To find out the following day that "dicky" didn't survive. Evidently you must have blocked some things out of your memory or you just fail to take full responsibility for your actions. Ironically the other kid you called a liar, (my brother) recently started saying he actually feels bad for you serving all this time, Harlan has a degree, kid,man that's a long time,people can change etc...Yet, you call him a liar! let me share something else, its now 1am, again Im losing sleep over this murder. I read this blog, bothered, I texted my brothers phone.I asked him, do you still feel bad that he has to serve all this time for what he did? (because I dont feel bad for you)the victims serve time daily,until they die. Anyways, he just responded to my text and asked" why ". I said well you and I are liars according to Harlan. I said you and I seen nothing that night , according to Harlan.. .He wrote me again and said and I quote "I saw it all , I even put pillows under his dying head , I saw everything"...
My version of events which I witnessed will be in this letter.. I am so shocked and appalled and irritated after reading what you wrote about my brother and I.You are calling us liars? We were two innocent children at the time who told the truth of what we witnessed.We were never ever tricked, talked into,led to believe , made up or were fed info to convict you or any of the such like you implied. My version of events are very clear to me. I know what I woke up to , I know what I walked out to see and for you to call me a liar makes me angry! That dead end hallway u speak of is exactly where I was sleeping when I heard banging. To be honest , I actually thought when I opened the bedroom door and walked out behind you , that my mom was the one laying on the floor and her boyfriend was beating her up....Until u turned and looked over your shoulder and I seen your face and I heard my mom yelling , "Tina get back in my room " over and over....
I would gladly take a lie detector test to prove to you and to the world ,what I seen happen and what I heard people yelling, anything I stated back then , I will state again. Id be willing to make a bet with you. You stop your appeals and serve the rest of your life in prison,give me an apology for calling me a liar and my brother also ,if my results prove what I stated to the police, during your trial or any place else of what I seen and heard that night proves to be the truth of what I seen-heard-and that I was not co-hearsed into anything.I win the bet You serve your life in prison,no appeals.Deal?
You claim self defense, which I believe it was at the start of your fight that night. When you decided to stab a man over 21 times in all parts of his body and he is unable to fight anymore your self defense claim then changes to murder.
You Killed your brother and to my knowledge you served sometime for his death. You were released and in a very short amount of time you killed another man.2 lives gone from your actions.
Usually people who find God admit there wrong doings and ask for forgiveness. They don't twist there story to make others feel sorry for them or place blame on the victims. Usually they are sorry for there actions.
Do you know I have a lot of memories of your cousin (Lyle) I can even remember him owing a silver vw rabbit, I remember him having a blue conversion van and riding in it. Are those lies to? (odd for being so young) I remember even thinking you were cute--I remember being around you on a few occasions and riding in that blue van with you and my mom. Also ,after you fled from the apartment my brother, his friend who was spending the night and myself were removed from the apartment, separated and had to give statements which were voice recorded before I was able to see my mom again.
I agree! It's NOT right! EVERY human life is valuable and we all have an obligation to help and support each other through this life. No one has the right to end a life and what sort of message does it send, when that is the punishment for those who do.
The death penalty is an archaic practice that has NO place in a modern world, particularly not a first world country like the USA. I'm thankful that I live in a country that has not supported state sanctioned killing for many decades.
I watched an interview recently between US defense attorney Bryan Stevenson and Richard Branson (of the Virgin empire) and they discussed how those caught up on death row are mostly the poor, simply unable to afford adequate legal representation. They actually said it was "better to be rich and guilty than poor and innocent in the USA". This is atrocious! And needs to change!! They also stated that "1 out of every 9 on death row are ultimately found innocent & if one in every 9 patients died under anesthetic we would stop using it... or if 1 out of every 9 planes went down, we wouldn't fly". It's the legal system that is broken and whether innocent or no... none of us have the right to take the life of another under ANY circumstances!
