My heart is so heavy for your loss. SECOND DEGREE MURDER!!!

My son in law was murdered 12-12-01 and his killer got off with an insanity plea, today the man who did it is free (cured) living 15 miles away from my daughter and granddaughter. I only said this to advise you, not to get sympathy, but demand that the DA fight to upgrade the charges to 1st degree murder. While I pray that God gives you comfort, don't settle for any deals the DA works out to ease his case load. God will be the final judge, but please demand the maximum sentence. Please update us on any fund that is set up to help the family I would be glad to help.

The state law determines what can be considered First degree murder. It's generally reserved for murdering law enforcement officers. I hope Florida has some provision where this charge could be upgraded. Looks like a hate crime to me.

So sad that the good church-going young father's life could be taken in this way. Many prayers going up for his family and friends.

I'm so sorry for the death of your son in law, and your family's continuing pain caused by the person who killed him.
