I've gotta go to court tomorrow...

    TB,

    from everything I read in the local publication, it sounds like you did a wonderful job while at court. Very brave, too.

    Kudos.

    The killer's comment about "..something I FEEL I didn't do.." He FEELS he didn't do it? Wow. Not that he didn't do it - he FEELS he didnt' do it.

    I hope he rots in prison.

    The video shows a little bit of me talking to him.. damn it felt good to tell that asshole how I feel.

    One thing I said was "look at you, you don't care, you aren't even emotional. If I was in your position, I would feel awful, I would be bawling my eyes out". When he got to speak, he turned around and looked at me and said "I do feel bad, but it's hard to be emotional about something I didn't do"


    Fuck you man.
    I agree with you 100%.

    I'd probably be more emtional if I didn't do it, than if I actually did do it. From looking at him, I don't see one ounce of sorrow or regret in his face and eyes. Which is what makes me think he obviously did it, and he's trying to get out on some BS.
    Not to mention that he accepted a plea bargain in 2002 in which he admitted his guilt. There was his blood, fingerprints, hair and footprints at the scene, and his bloody clothes were found in a trash bag with her car keys. Hmmm..

    Here is one guy that I don't mind my tax dollars keeping in jail--even though I feel like he deserves to be put to death, I hope he spends 58 years getting fucked in the ass and dies from AIDS on his last day.

    True, were there other guys arrested on lesser charges?

    What did they do?

    If He appeals , I hope the judge adds more time on to him for puttin Trueblue and his Family through the appeals process again.

    TrueBlue, I'm sorry for your loss. Props to you for handling the day in court. You let him know what a piece of scum he is. I can tell from the video he has no heart or soul. I was robbed at gunpoint when I delivered pizza 20+ years ago. I also dealt with murderers as a jailer for many years. They are worthless.
    You and your family continue to stay strong.

    TB,
    You're a better man than I am. I don't think I would have been able to show the restraint that you did. If I was in your shoes, I would probably be in jail right now for beating the shit out of that cock-sucking douchebag.

    I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers man. Stay strong dude.
  • zambrown
    I know when you posted last year, you were very nervous about facing this piece of shit and whether you would be able to effectively communicate how you felt. Well, from what I saw on the news clip, you did a great job! I can't begin to put myself in your shoes, but kudos for having the courage to tell him how your mom's death has affected you. Truly, you're my hero right now. You've had so much heaped on you in your very young life, but yet you're getting along. God bless you, TB!

    Agreed. Victim Impact Statements can be a very intimidating event for people. But there's a feeling of release that happens that is wonderfully balming for deep-seated hurts.

    TB,
    This is the first I've heard of this. My heart goes out to you and your family. God bless you and your family!!

    Great Job TB. That asshole doesn't need a second chance. You are correct about not showing any emotion if I was pleading to be brought out of jail for something I didn't do, I think I would show some emotion. He showed none.

    very powerful video,TB--I have great respect for you and your family...may that bastard rot in prison,and then burn in hell.

    Yep that was me.

    It felt DAMN good to look that bastard in the eye and tell him exactly what I think.


    Thank you call so much for your support, you have no idea how much it means to me.
    TB, you are a MUCH better man than me, I couldn't have been as composed as you were in court, I would have lept over the table and beat his face in and stabbed him with the pens on the table. I would have put on that guy 10 fold the pain he inflicted on me.

    If someone would have hurt a loved one of mine like that, nothing would have stopped me from putting them in the ground.

    It is terrible that you had to go through this, especially beginning at the age of 11. There is nothing I can say that will ever give you comfort or closure, but I will pray for it for you.
  • Heretic
    I didn't watch the video, but I did read the story on your local paper's website and all I can say is I commend you, man. In your situation, I don't know if I'd be able to maintain composure...especially considering his "I don't feel like I did anything" line of shit where he was apparently trying to blame his lesser-sentence buddies. That's the sort of thing that'd make me see red.
  • FairwoodKing
    So what finally happened? Are they throwing the scumbag back in jail for 58 years, or what?

    Please let us know.
  • Terry_Tate
    Wow, this is the first time I've read this thread, and didn't see it on the old site. What a terrible story and I'm glad they upheld his sentence. My condolences TB, you handled yourself very well.
