Justice is Served

OK below is the story of the home invasion on my sister and two other robberies by the same men.

They were arrested in 2005. Our wonderful justice system being what it is, they did not have their trial until this week.

They were facing 27 charges. I can't name them all right now, but here's how it went down. All three family members testified on Monday and Tuesday.

During the playing of the 911 call [which was very emotional] one of the defense lawyers and his client started laughing. During a break the victims rights advocate told the DA what happened and this little spitfire of a woman caught up with the other lawyer and demanded to know what was so funny. I don't know what it was, but she came to us and told us that it was not the call.

Anyway, long story short they're guilty. The sentence has not been passed down yet, because in GA the families of the guilty have a right to tell the judge what good boys they are and how it will hurt their feelings that they will have to go to jail.

They'd already turned down two plea bar gin offers, and one of them had their sister and 16 year old niece lie on the stand saying that he'd been with them. Even though that was disproved.

My sister doubts the judge will be too moved. You have to understand something here. They took very victim and bound them up with duct tape. When they bound my sister and her husband, they did so in the front hallway. According to GA law, that is the crime of false imprisonment. When they took Sarah from her room and did the same thing, that became kidnapping.

In GA law, if you are moved from point a to point b it is kidnapping. It does not matter if you are moved from your bedroom to the kitchen or in the case of the Applebees employees from the back room to the bar area, or in the case of the Fuddruckers employee, from the restaurant to the truck, it is still kidnapping.

There were 27 charges against them. Kidnapping, false imprisonment, assault, robbery etc. One charge was for taking a bank card out of the purse of the Applebees manager and then they put it back when she told them she had no money. That was a charge of robbery and was dropped since they did not keep the card.

HOWEVER ALL 26 OTHER CHARGES STAND.

When sentenced in a week or so, they will probably be given MULTIPLE life time sentences. THEY WILL NEVER SEE FREEDOM AGAIN.


If you feel sorry for prisoners, fine. I don't care and I don't feel any sympathy for them. One of them appeared to have a good mother, so I feel for her, but the other had a mother that was quite obviously a baby making, crack slut. Is that harsh? Yes. Do I care? NO!!!

I may even want to become a victims rights advocate myself now, just because I think that victim justice is way more important to me than criminal justice.
