I will continue to be optimistic. A new DA (fresh eyes and views) is just what this case needs. IMO

I agree. So far, I'm liking what I'm seeing.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Good! Keep us posted Oriah on anything you see or hear locally. Nice to have a local here with us.

 

[Oriah]

Just thought this an interesting read for those wondering about charges and info related to Shaniya's case. With a new DA, we have a new set of possible interpretations:

Bumping for Shaniya.

 

[Oriah]

Shaniya, I've been thinking of you a lot lately, and wanting to remind you of the impact you had on my life.
Wondering if maybe we need an emotional support thread for those of us down here, who cannot make sense of how what happened to you, and so many others- actually...happened.

That's neither here nor there I guess... but I did want to let you know we are still currently awaiting trial for those who hurt you so much. And it's coming this year, little one.

Oriah, so true. I cant see a little girl with that pretty hair and beautiful almond eyes without remembering our little angel. She affected my life as well.

 

[songline]

Little angel Shaniya, :angel::angel:
I come here interested only in the legal battle to get justice for you.

Again just another day

 

[tlcya]

Soon pretty girl. We won't forget. We can't.

 

[Oriah]

Soon pretty girl. We won't forget. We can't.

I second that, tlcox. Soon, Shaniya. This is the year. And I believe when justice comes, it will hit hard.

 

[Empty heart]

Still nothing??

wiping my tears... heavy heart. WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG????

Are they trying to wait us out? That we will forget??? I WILL NOT FORGET!

To all of those who had a role in this tragedy... I will not forget... and on Judgment Day... I will stand up as a witness to the outrage of your actions.... (or neglect).

God have mercy on your soul. The fact that we have to share this Earth to the likes of you... God have mercy on us all!

Good morning Empty heart! I know it sucks to wait this one out. But as I did research on NC's system, I found this is not uncommon at all.
Below are a few links I found that say it could be years.

But, the good news is, there is a new DA. Maybe he will get the ball rolling.

We will never forget. And I believe there will be some form of Earthly justice. But the real justice will come when MAM and AD meet their maker.

Average N.C. Murder Case May Take Years to Go to Court

***article would not let me snip, but the reason it takes so long is explained at the link***


So, this is not just Shaniya's case. It's not swept under a rug. This is common in N.C. (I think it's common everywhere)

Hidden Costs For N.C. Courts

These are N.C.’s budget priorities: Kids first, cops second, courts and jails go last.


It goes for evidence. North Carolina’s DNA testing labs are overwhelmed with evidence.

It goes for people in jail. It takes an average of two years of discovery before murder cases go to tiral, and many defendants spend that time in prison – without a conviction.

North Carolina murder case languishes


Nearly three years after a North Carolina man was stabbed to death, two Batavians and a man from Cattaraugus County have yet to face trial.

"We have a backlog of cases," Burke County, N.C. District Attorney James Gaither said of a case that is not even on a future court calendar.

I second that, tlcox. Soon, Shaniya. This is the year. And I believe when justice comes, it will hit hard.

From your mouth to Gods ears.

 

[Oriah]

From your mouth to Gods ears.

God, and the DA.

 

[suzyq211]

God, and the DA.

You got it!!!

That's depressing...only because AD is walking around free!!!!!

 

[Kimberlyd125]

I agree! She should NOT be out of jail! That low bail was ridiculous and she walked free because of it.

It's also depressing because 'kids first' -while a nice thought- is seriously lacking as well. But NC is strapped as are most states. Systems need to be overhauled from the top down, in a major way.

As for AD walking around free....I agree. But I also feel comfortable saying I think she's got a LOT of eyes on her.

Shaniya, you're forever in our hearts. Justice WILL come.

Hey little angel up there,
can you pleas shake up an earth angel to get your case moving down here?
Please thank you :blowkiss:

Yes, little one...that, and I'm going to ask you for help on yet another one down here...you're doing such a great job watching out for your friends here on earth.

I promise- your justice will come....in the meantime- your playground movement is having some success!
