PCR Update

The PCR hearing for Monday has been postponed. The defense attorney filed for a continuance (is that spelled right?) Anyway, this means we WILL NOT go to court on Monday, it will be September 22 or after. The attorney had requested copies of the transcript from Kershaw County Courthouse and had not received all they needed....SO, no hearing on Monday. I tell you this with mixed emotions. PLEASE, ALLOW ME... Since when can you drink until you are 3x the legal limit, drive around like you own the roads (speeding), take the life of and innocent child, plead guilty and get sentenced to 13 years in prison and STILL have more rights than a regular citizen? Well, you can ! Criminals and prisioners have more rights than you & I. We live with a horrible loss everyday of our lives, we face challenges EVERYDAY that none of you reading these words will ever know. But let's not forget that the person responsible for taking Sullivan so senselessly from us has the right to appeal his sentence. Can you say "PISSED!" Well that doesn't begin to describe the anger we feel, but we manage to get up each and everyday and face each day without Sullivan, only to find out 3YEARS LATER that the individual who took his from us feels that he has been "WRONGED". Oh boo hoo! So sorry for him!
