As the parent of a murdered child I would encourage ALL to boycott these types of films. It only encourages holywierd to produce more of them to glorify cold blooded killers.

Where are the movies about the anguish of the Victim's survivors? I don't see holywierd rushing to make them. Of course they don't, movies about the anguish of homicide victims surviors won't sell movies they would be to BORING. There is no profit in recording our sleepless nights, our tears, our 100 or more treks to the court house only to have the case postponed yet again, or the 200 or more trips to the court house if the case is appealed. OR the parole hearing fights. I fought 6 of them. Now my son's killer walks the streets because he's maxed out his good behavior and the state of TN has turned him loose to prey on another person.

No there is no profit in holywierd for our pain.

It also enriches the pockets of the stars who in turn give that money to moveon.org, hanoi john, clintoon's and RATS.

TUNE OUT, TURN OFF, HIT THEM IN THEIR WALLETS.

I am very sorry to hear the murderer is out. I didn't know.

A friend of mine was murdered, along with both parents, when I was in high school. Their murderer (who was the older brother) was found guilty only of voluntary manslaughter, sentenced to 10-25 years, eligible for parole after eight. He was released in 1999, only because his sentence had finally expired. He served the full 25 years. Which is something, I guess, but how bad of an inmate do you have to be to not make parole in this day and age?

I have been expecting to hear he's killed someone else for five years now.

I have been wanting for some time to write a book about the victims in cases like these. Or rather before they became the victim. My dad was killed too. It bothers me that fathers, sisters, friends, spouses, etc. who had real stories in their lives get reduced to the status of "victim", yet you have to know of every boo-boo their murderer ever had.

How do you stop yourself from plotting and executing vengeance for your son?

If the system does not give us justice, surely we are entitled to seek justice ourselves.
