Hi everyone! with Tricias permission I am going to tell you my story, link a news story for better explaination and adding a link to my petition.
My former husband and father of my children, Jason, was murdered in June 22, 2007 by his brother, Robert. They were drinking and a fight happened resulting in my exhusband being strangled to death. Our children were 16 and 8 at the time.
My ex father in law is the one who posted the bail on Roberts 1M dollar bond by mortgaging his house. While out on bail Robert has been allowed to leave the state of Illinois because he is the owner/operator of his own trucking company, so it is possible that one of you have stood next to him at some point totally not knowing he commited murder. He was also allowed to leave the state the Christmas following the murder of Jason in order to go to Michigan to spend Christmas with family there.
He was indicted by the grand jury on 1st degree murder....initially...
Now, just in this past week I got a call that the States Attorneys office here had made him a plea deal of involuntary manslaughter. The penalty is a minimum 48 months probation and a maximum of 14 years in prison. AND MY KIDS' DAD IS DEAD BY HIS HAND!
We were told that there is nothing we can do to try to appeal the plea so I have organized an online petition to try and get as many signatures as I can in hopes that the judge will take them into consideration and give Robert the 14 years.
While I do not think the punishment fits the crime it is all I know to do to circulate the petition as best I can. And I know Roberts true judgement will come the day he meets his maker.
Here is the link to todays story in our local paper: http://www.pekintimes.com/news/x50618923/Family-No-justice-for-Jason-Harmon
(they only leave the stories up for 14 days)
And here is the link to my petition: http://www.gopetition.com/online/26993.html
Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you if you decide to sign! Thanks also to Jbean and Tricia!!!
Much Love,:blowkiss:
