Dear Antoine, I am glad to read there are no church services anymore, just read an article about how events with singing (and shouting) were superspreads, like church services, carneval, demonstrations and sport events... I hope you are doing okay and that you are healthy, and can find the patience while seeing others being released... I wish for you that your day is coming soon! I am fine, healthy, staying mostly inside at home. We do not have a very strict lockdown, most shops are still open, we have to keep distance from each other, but luckily, no military parading the street or shit like that like in other countries. At the same time, death rate is quite high here, relatively, and lots of especially old people in care homes are not good protected and die. Take care, warm greetings, Julia
Mr. Trotter First, thank for your reply and let me commend you on your continued efforts of self improvement, and your desire for more education. That helps me believe that you are truly contrite, remorseful, and a different person today than you were then. To be completely honest with you, about 8 yrs. ago, by chance, I happened to be browsing through the channel guide on television, and it just happened that a documentary of Indiana prisons was being aired. I thought to myself, "I'll watch that". The unexpected shock was that you were a big part of that show. One of the topics was, was that you were being brought back into population from solitary. I was enraged when you went before the board and said "I don't regret what I did that morning, I was trying to save a life". No mention of what crimes you committed that morning. I was also angered that the producers of this documentary had no regard for, or any attempt to try to contact, my father( I sent emails to the production team...no reply). I also have to say a Lucinda Boyd enrages the hell out of me as well. My feeling is if you are going to be supportive of a persons plight, at least give the whole story. I am happy to read that, in your reply, you seem to be assuming responsibility. What's done is done. I don't think I need to continue to tell you that L. Love was not worth the long term punishment that you've endured. As I've said, I have no doubt a free L. Love would have committed crimes on your family if he was a free L. Love. I really had a need for you to read what that day was like for myself. I was made aware of your appeal for clemency. My father could not be present for reasons you've mentioned. As for my father, as you know, he did survive that morning, there are permanent psychological scars. He's 91yrs old. His health is fragile. The letter you sent probably was returned because he and my mother don't live in the house I grew up in anymore. Your efforts in prison I'm only guessing have elevated you into a leadership role and possibly a mentor to many. You don't have your freedom but it sounds like you have a lot of self-respect and self-esteem. You can't buy those qualities. I am a forgiving person. I accept your desire for forgiveness, and I do forgive you. I respect that you assume responsibility for your actions. My desire for you is that you continue with your self-improvement, and your mentoring. There is a great deal of positive things you can accomplish. Mr. Trotter I wish you a very sincere GOOD LUCK Patrick Melling

Hmm. That is a very tough situation. But I know that things will get better. So don't you worry.
I found this letter funny. You, sir, have a good sense of humor. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.
