Hi Everyone, Please help us keep Shannon's murderer behind bars. When it is time for Hinton to go before the Parole Board in thirteen years, they will look at his file. Letters in his file asking to keep him behind bars and serving his full life sentence for the murder of Shannon Denise...

My family and I thought 48 Hours did an excellent job. For those of you who don't know me, I'm Shannon's little sister. My family and I were so embarrassed that we didn't inform you guys about the program. You all were so wonderful to us throughout the trial. For those of you who missed it...

Hi Maddie, I know exactly who you are. ;0)

Thank you for your kind words. No, he was sentenced to just life (w/ parole). I do agree putting it in God's hands, but I also feel that by being given the opportunity to fight this is by doing just that. No, I do not live in Canada. I live in Miami, FL.

Hi Maddie, What a relief!!! I understand and respect your opinion for not speaking to the media, but it was a little frustrating for my family and I not to know what went through the jury's mind throughout the trial. I'm Shannon's sister, Monique, btw. I wanted to hug and kiss each of you...

Once again, thank you. Unfortunately the fight is not over. We already have to begin writing letters to the Parole Board so when his time comes to appeal, his file will be filled with letters. If anyone would like to help us keep this monster in jail where he belongs, I will forward...

On behalf of my family and I, THANK YOU!!! Your kind words of love and encouragement really helped us through this. Nothing will bring back Shannon, but justice has been served. We're still in shock, but it's sinking in slowly but surely. With love, Monique, Yvonne, and Luis Melendi

As always, I cannot comment due to the stupid gag order. I just want you all to know that I am reading your posts and sharing them with my parents. Your words mean so much to us. It's nice to know so many good people are pulling for Shannon. Thank you all... With love, Angel's lil sis

I cannot even begin to DESCRIBE how sickenning it is to sit in that courtroom. All I can ask of you is to please keep Shannon in your prayers. And not just Shannon, but my parents as well. They need all the strength they can get to get through this. Once again, on behalf of my family and I...

If anyone is interested, Shannon's childhood friend, Anne Vazquez, will be doing a live interview with Rita Cosby (MSNBC) this Monday at 9 PM (EST).

Thank you all for your kind words. My mother and I will be flying to Atlanta on Sunday and my father will join us on Monday. The trial is set to begin Monday afternoon. Please keep Shannon in your prayers.
