I seem to remember that the basis of one of your claims for a new trial was that you were not apprised od Dick Endres penchant for violence...........although you stabbing him 18 times seems to stretch self defence a bit far. And that was many years before Scott Walker came along. Part of the requirement of receiving parole is accepting responsibility for your crime......but you would know that from your previous manslaughter conviction.
hey dad no jeo never gave me a letter i really want to see it im 14 days sober from meth im really proud of myself me and brandon got into a fight i knocked him out so he tried saying some bullshit and tried to kill me but im not tripping off that i really want to come and visit. i dont know why but i have a bad feeling about this joe guy i dont know him i just feel like something is up with him i dont know why but sorry about my other letter i was out of it but i wanna visit you and get to know you well i got to go im in the library and my times about to run out so love lots your son
To be honest, one of the things you might want to evaluate is how you present yourself on these blogs.
You write a lot about wanting to have explicit letters with a female penpal. You also make requests for photos of women who are not fully clothed and talk about pornographic webpages.
If you really want to help your children, you need to present yourself differently.
In one letter, you tell your children not to read this blog - because you don't want them to see all of these requests.
The problem is, that's not how life works anymore. Not only are they going to read this blog - but their friends are. That means kids at school will all have an opportunity to read this. That's how it works today.
Kids can track down massive amounts of information - even if they don't know someones last name.
Your children's friends all have access to what you are writing.
I really think you need to stop writing those kinds of posts. I understand that you are hoping for some kind of companionship - through letters - but this is harmful to your kids.
No child wants to have their father posting things like that on the web for the world (and their friends) to read.
You should also know, that all of your disciplinary records are on line. I was surprised that your state does this, but it came up as soon as I googled your name.
If you want your daughter not to be around people who self-abuse, then you need to set a good example.
I think that it all comes down to your role as a Father. I think you have to evaluate who (and what) comes first.
It's ironic that now you have a chance for parole - why couldn't this have happened before I left California? I know inside that I'll never go back there - I'm finished moving. I know also that this is not the place you'd want to be - it's so outside of anything you know (I was serious when I said they don't drink - lol) It's truly a catch-22 situation - bittersweet
James, I am a psychology student & I have been tasked with the assignment to follow one inmate's blog and find out some things about daily life, fears, living with other inmates, victimizations you encounter and other things. I have read many of your letters and I have to say that my heart goes out to you and many others who have made mistakes and are now living out the rest of their years behind bars. I don't know what you did nor do I need to, but I can say that I truly believe that there is good in all people. It seems that you have come to terms with your sentence and you are learning how to cope. I'm glad they have support groups for you guys in there and I hope that they help. I believe that as adults almost all of us have been faced with choices that (if we made the wrong choice) could've landed us in jail. Some of us were more fortunate to grow up with a more supportive family home as others weren't so lucky. I thank God that he has watched over me the way that he has and I just want you to know that not everyone in the world sees inmates as horrible people. I see that some of you just made bad decisions for various reasons. I do wish you well. God Bless - Amelia

I'm suggesting that your children should.
Good luck,
