Honestly, I don't know what I'd do if I was in their position.........I just wouldn't be able to deny her guilt. And if I could, I'd be taking the stand. But if there's nothing positive to throw in her direction, what are you going to do?
I never lied or fudged for my kids......and they knew it. They could screw up, but if they lied to me about it, mom ain't gonna play that game with 'em.
I know I would certainly express my deep regrets to the Alexander family on the loss of their brother, which was caused by my daughter, who made some regrettable choices when she murdered their brother and I would be deeply sorry for all the pain my daughter has caused everyone, my family included, as a result of her choices.
Remorse- it's so simple to me.
There must be an agenda that they have, possibly dreamed up by Nurmi and Co., and her parents are following this drama to align with their story. I just can't understand them tho'- it's inconceivable to me why they are not taking the stand and say, "yes", we did not give our daughter the support/help she obviously needed or why would she do such a horrible thing to another human being.
That they do not want their daughter to receive the DP is understandable, IMO- they still love her, but to just stick their head in the sand- that their daughter is "innocent"- is dubious to me. I don't think that her parents are that brainless and they do know the truth about their daughter- no matter how terrible the truth really is. Of course, no parent wants to acknowledge that their child is a murderer and just couldn't have done such a heinous act, because murder is so appalling to my mind. But to say, she is "wrongly convicted" of murder- well, I just don't know what to say except that some/most parents will go through fire for their children and their saying it may just be part of the "act" to save their daughter from the DP (at least I hope so).
I am truly ashamed for them, even if they may not be (although I really do think they are)- to have to go thru all this horror- it's , again, inconceivable to me. I pray that they will find some peace in what they are doing- for what they are forced to do, I hope, IMO, for the love of their daughter, but if they truly believe their daughter- well, you reap what you sow- in my eyes.
I, myself, would not go along with the story that my daughter was innocent in any way because every life is precious and no one has the right to take that life away, no matter what the "story" is. ( My two sons know that I would stand by them in the truth, but never in their lies.) My daughter, in this case, would have to take whatever punishment the jurors deemed necessary for atonement in this grievous murder of another human being. I would be begging, on my knees, that the jurors find some compassion in their hearts- to show some mercy- and let my daughter live in prison for the rest of her life- not for her sake, but for the sake of me and my family. I would be on my knees, asking for forgiveness of the Alexander family for the wrong that my daughter did to Travis and his family.
I am just ashamed for them.
