As a young boy, we had toy guns and would pretend blast our friends until dark....then we would stand guard duty and patrols
Back then there was a outlet for boy to be boys.
My boys had them, none of the 3 every used a real gun to harm anything but a practice target paper or a deer when they got old enough to hunt.
My middle child was a developmental delayed by 4 yrs, at 16 he was equal to a 12 yr old. No voice crack yet, no peach fuzz.
He was ambushed within site of our home with just the RR tracks blocking the site, and beaten to death with a 4x4 fence post, by a sociopath seeking the thrill to see what it felt like to kill. Drug all his friends to the site to brag, then stood on top of the RR track hill and watched the PD investigate. When some one pointed him out, he ran, got caught. I spent the next 2 yrs sitting in a court room 1 day per month until they plea bargained 1st degree down to 2nd, with a range of 10-30 yrs, he was given 20. Even threatened to kill any one who testified against him FROM JAIL I fought the first of 6 parole hearings just 10 months later. Eked out 14.5 yrs until he maxed out his ‘bad behavior’ time. He now walks the streets of TN a free man, my Jeremy lies in a cold grave.
Which is why my husband made me learn to shoot and get my permit.
PLEASE HELP GET THIS 8 YEAR OLD LITTLE GIRL THE JUSTICE THAT HAS BEEN DENIED HER FOR 20 YEARS, THE GOVERNOR’S EMAIL ADDY IS AT THE BOTTOM.
END THE SENSELESS APPEALS PROCESS!

This is going on 20 years of appeals. DNA & confession proved he did it.
He raped, strangled to death with her OWN SHOE LACES Nicki Read and then threw her body in the river. Even helped hunt for what was thought to be a missing child. The INJUSTICE system does not give a flip how much money or grief it causes the victim’s family to have this crap delayed and delayed, and then finally some anti-death penalty justice will void the sentence and give life with parole, which means more grief to fight the suckers. And criminals have MORE rights that the victim or victim’s family!
Governor Bill Halsam has yet to set a date or sign the death warrant, ask him how long Nicki’s mom has to wait for justice.
