Cinderella Posted July 10, 2009 Author #26 Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) a couple of u said sleep well.........haha ive been wide awake since 4:15 am........ mind is racing......couldnt get back to sleep..... too much to think about i guess..... thanks everyone for joining in our news..... i hate to call it good news or victory...tho it is a very good amount of time to get for a plea in this kind of case......you cant help but wish you could have gotten alot more. One of our goals in trying to keep haylie from having to relive it all by going thru trial was for him to get enough time behind bars for her to age to an age of understanding.....so by the time he would get out she would have come to understand the depth of what happened becuase at this point her innocence and age is still in the way of that. Hopefully this is a good thing that she doesnt understand and the path of time will not come back to haunt her. not only do we need closure but she will need to know when she gets to understand what happened that she toook part in that closure and was there for not just the beginning but the end also..... ive gone over my impact statement so im ready to speak today if we get to that point..its funny when i wrote it the anger had subsided some but now the anger is tugging at me really bad again......who knows what i might add to what i wrote yet.... my goal now is to figure out what reason God had for letting us go thru this........and then do something about it..... i have already volunteered with the local PD to to be available when someone else goes thru this kind of thing and needs someone who "knows" first hand to talk to, because i didnt have that. And believe me there are far more cases of this crap going on than you could imagine...even in small town america, not just big citys,,,, step 2 is to become members of BACA and return to some other kids what was given to mine. oh yeah and step 3 is to attend every parole hearing he ever has to keep that sucker locked up as long as possible:whistling: Edited July 10, 2009 by Cinderella
Eck Posted July 10, 2009 #28 Posted July 10, 2009 I too, like Dale, will wait for the final sentencing and when the sun rises where all this is behind your family. My heart and thoughts are with you all.

Sweetnothing Posted July 10, 2009 #35 Posted July 10, 2009 Cindy, Take a deeeeeeep breath!! It will go alright, and you will soon be over and done with it!!! Life will continue on, and it will soon be just a memory that you will think about every once in a while. He on the other hand will live this the rest of his life, cause Bubba won't let him forget it:rotf::banana: Life sure works out funny!! Congrats! It will soon be in the past, and you all have a good future ahead of you!:bighug:to You, Dale, and 2 for Hailie!:bighug:
TEW47 Posted July 10, 2009 #37 Posted July 10, 2009 Thank GOD you won't have to go through the trial again. I had the same thing happen to me when I was 6 years old,so I know it can effect your life. Will be praying for you daughter. tew47
Guest seuadr Posted July 10, 2009 #38 Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) i hate to call it good news or victory...tho it is a very good amount of time to get for a plea in this kind of case......you cant help but wish you could have gotten alot more. Just remember 2 things. 1: alot of prisoners frown on his kind of crime, and 2: in the end, he will have to answer to a power that doesn't take plea bargans. my goal now is to figure out what reason God had for letting us go thru this........and then do something about it..... His reasons are probably very complex and numerous. Don't forget that just talking to the people here and in your life that you would not have normally come into contact with changes them. i wish with all my heart that you and yours could have simply not gone through this, but think of a drop in a puddle, those ripples affect everything untill there is no more water. This world is a hell of a puddle. I hope you feel some comfort in the fact you have touched lives all over the unitedstates, and probably the world. That's just for this site! I hope God helps you find some peace. With peace comes understanding. Edited July 13, 2009 by seuadr
Midnight V-4 Posted July 10, 2009 #39 Posted July 10, 2009 That's great news. I am very happy for you and Halie. Having worked in the court system for several years I know how these things can drag on. Time now for Halie to be a kid again. God Bless You All.

Guest seuadr Posted July 13, 2009 #41 Posted July 13, 2009 They said his fist or something was about 14 inches:confused24: 14 inches... AROUND!
mini-muffin Posted July 13, 2009 #42 Posted July 13, 2009 We were so happy to hear this. We were all at the campground at the KOA when sgn came out and brought a print out of your original post about this. That's why we called you guys so you would know we all got the word. Everyone was so happy for you guys and relieved for Haylie. I hope and pray that she can deal with this as she gets older. Love you guys. Big hugs for all of you. Margaret
Yama Mama Posted July 13, 2009 #43 Posted July 13, 2009 This gives me new confidence in our justice system. May God bless you all. YamaMama
