Don't you feel that this woman has been totally immersed in this case for 20 years such as to have been able to "evaluate all aspects of the process"
The fact is that it was James and FIVE friends who mercilessly attacked Edward, who was 22 not 17 years old, and rendered him unconscious before James crushed his skull, like an eggshell, with a baseball bat. This has required her to endlessly relive the murder through court cases, appeals and parole hearings in the five cases that were prosecuted successfully. Where is the opportunity for healing there?
Joe Donovan did not kill anyone but Steven James did. Now she has to go through the possibility of parole for James! She is stoic and will go forward and attend the parole hearing in order to speak for her son who cannot speak for himself and perhaps the board can "propose a saving way for this afflicted woman"
I'm praying for you, Scot. I never get a response from you so I have just stepped back. You can get my contact info from Steven. I love you and I miss you so much.
