My first post after the farcical un-trial. I never did get a response from the DA regarding what I could and couldn’t say. Now that I’ve moved out of Alabama, I figure what Alabama says I can and cannot do matters not one whit. —————– November 14, 2011 [Rev. 8/28/2012] Let’s talk about what it […]

When I went to court for that farce, I was flanked by two victim’s advocates, supposedly there to offer support. All they really did was prevent me from saying […]

This was the first post I wrote about the crime, back in September 2011. It is still painful to read. . . .I don’t know why you’d want to read it, but there may be someone out there, some time, who will need to. I can’t find anything quite comparable, any account that addresses what […]
