If Dina is all you believe her to be; (and I believe she is, or she wouldn't have put up with you and tried to protect you for so long) I believe she would have forgiven you long before you even asked for her forgiveness.
I would have loved to respond to your original blog but I didn't think you would be able to read what I had to say! So let me introduce myself. I'm the 8 yr old girl that walked out of the bedroom in the middle of the night while you were in the middle of stabbing Dickie over and over. I was that 8 yr old girl that had to grow up with the memories haunting me of me yelling for my mom, you turning your head to the right and looking straight behind you as I walked toward you in fear,while you continued to stab a man that layed there helplessly.The smeared blood on the walls and sopping wet carpet that I was carried over and heard the blood squishing beneath his feet.I seen his nose hanging by a thread, I seen his blood squirt out of several different holes in his body like a squirt gun , I heard him plead for his life to his brother.I watched him stand and collapse in the hallway in front of my brothers bedroom door,I heard him tell his brother "I think I'm dying","I'm bleeding to death". I heard Dickie ask my 12 yr old brother for towels after he fell to the ground and laid there begging for someone to save him. We have suffered with the memories since 1983 and It disgusts me that someone can " accidently kill his own brother " Serve what 8 years and turn around , stab a man a minimum of 21 times in all parts of his body while he lay there with no fight left and turn around and complain that you have to rot in prison! You should serve your very last breath in your cell.You shouldn't have the luxury of the internet what so ever. The impact that you have made on the lives of my family are nothing compared to what you took from that man. You took his life, you took him from his children,his wife , his brothers and many other family members. I have waited a long time to have my day to speak my mind. I not only had to witness your actions first hand but I had to relive them in court during your trial. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I've had to relive those memories my entire life.I now suffer from severe anxiety and would like to thank you [REDACTED BY BETWEEN THE BARS]. Yours Truly,The 8 yr old girl you destroyed back in 1983
hay bro im glad u rote us back and that u are doing good and cant wait for u to come home and we will b sendin you pics soon and we dont got the stuff every thing got lost on 84st when we moved love u much hope to here from u soon =) =)
Marcus, thanks for your reply. This is regarding your post about the shooting in Colorado. Obviously, horrible stuff. Yeah, there were some people who joke about it. Honestly I think unless you're ever attached in some way to a tragedy like that, you can find humor in almost anything. I think Dane Cook, the comedian, had made a joke he got some bad publicity for. he said that the Batman movie, which is the movie being shown when the shooting happened, was so bad that the people were "like oh, just shoot me." He got a bit of bad response from that one!
I'm against gun control of most kinds. I think in a free society with 2nd amendment freedoms, there will unfortunately be crazies out there. We do, however, need to make sure we keep to the principles regarding guns that our forefathers had. We simply have to be able to resist armed suppression by the government. Sure, the gov has bigger weapons etc, nukes, etc. But the last line of defense against an oppressive government is the right to own firearms. When they take those away, they will have 100% free reign to do whatever they wish.
But of course, it is absolutely horrible what happened. I can't even imagine the horror.
Hey Joe, Just wanted to touch base with you. I read your blogs regularly. I don't usually post a reply...it just seems...well, I don't know. Five and a half years later and it still seems so surreal. Yet I know it's reality. I miss you all the time. You, and the family I lost along with you. I pray for you daily, that you will be safe. Joseph talks about you all time. He loves playing with you...you're his buddy. He looks so much like you. He has that Landreth charisma. He's just amazing. Anyway, take care of yourself. Give Monk a hug for me. And tell our daughter to call her mother sometime,. I love you, Shannon
If anyone could help Mr trotter in his case to gain freedom please do so. Watch his interview on MSNBC locked up titled sticks and stone. I believe he deserves a chance at freedom again. Like I said if u could help in anyway please do! Thank u!
That wasn't me that choked. That was Aaron. And that was actually kind of funny what you said about CASI. I'll pray she gets over her amnesia soon, too.
