A new Day!

 I am feeling somewhat rested, even though I fell asleep on the couch. My mind was going in a million different places all day yesterday. I made the decision to stay home and try to relax. I didn't want to put myself and my funky mood around anyone else. So sorry that my husband happened to be the one! Quickly thereafter he got out of dodge!
I was just reading the many comments from my blog yesterday. I am so blessed to have you all in our lives. You all are so special to me and our family. God does have a plan and I truly believe THAT! Although, I do get  turned around at times, and it sometimes takes a minute to regroup, I always know that God has THIS!
Like my cousin Maureen posted, We have been through all of this before. My cousin Kathy (Maureen's sister), was murdered here in Fairfield in 1999. Our family went through 8 years of Mack West claiming innocence by reason of insanity. Finally in 2007 he was sentenced to 16 years. One year later, Matt was murdered.
Those 8 years of going in and out of court brought similar thoughts about our Justice System. There were many times we would not get a call about a hearing, and then read about it in the paper. I would write letters to the editor, and complain to the victim rights advocate, and the D.A's office. But, it continued to happen. And, it continues today.
I totally believe that you are innocent until proven guilty. YOU BOTH  have been found Guilty! Why?  Because YOU killed my son Matthew. PERIOD end of Story. Do your time. None of this will bring Matt back to us.
I'm sure the 2 killers are pissed that the 3rd person (the driver Nicole Stewart) was NEVER charged with ANY CRIME Whatsoever!YEAH, I'm still pissed and outraged by that fact! CRAZY!  None of this will change the fact that our family has been forever affected.
One thing that has changed for us, is that we will not just sit back and allow injustices to continue to happen without opening our mouths and voicing the outrage.
I understand that due to the economy we have fewer victim advocates. I'm just wondering....how much time does it take for someone, anyone, to pick up a phone and say?....... Just wanted to let you know that the appeal process for the killers is happening NOW, so you will probably begin to see things in the newspaper. Less than 1 minute. That is all the time it would have taken!
Maybe God has just revealed to me my calling? I will pray about it.
