My Son´s Appeal was turned down today.........i can´t believe it....... :argh
Then i found out that some Guy killed another Guy a couple of months ago...and guess what ...he got 13 Years. :pissed: It happend in the same County where they got my Son for Unarmed Robbery....only Diffrense .my Son got 30 years !!!!
This is not my Day .....i feel so bad and Helpless...........can´t sleep.... eat is driving me up the wall

That is so awful... I just can't believe the disparities in sentencing in our so-called 'system' of justice, it is infuriating!!! Stay strong, for him and you both.

I hope your pain eases.

(((( big hug))))

I'm sorry mayday. The sentences here make zero sense to me I have such a hard time trying to find some ryme or reason for the amount of time given out and can't. Will he be able to appeal again? Being a mom also I know you are hurting for him right now. You hurt for yourself but I know you're thinking about how he is taking this.

Once again, I'm very sorry for this. :(

Hang in there, we're here for you.

I am so sorry for you, and your son, and I can only repeat what others have said...God has a plan is all I know....keep coming back to PTO and you will find some strength to go through this painful time...

As a mom I can only say I can't imagine your pain...I am so sorry. I wish we as parents could make bad things go away just like when they were little and we held them when they were hurt. Each time mine were hurt I think it hurt me more than it did them because I couldn't stand to see them suffer. My prayers are with you.

Thanks for all the Support ...iIshould fell better now........but I don´t :o((.
I run to my Mailbox 10 times a day and hope find a letter from my Son....but NOTHING....is driving me CRAZY,not to know whats going on with him.
I called his classified officer ....they say everything is ok......but I don´t think so....is unusual that i don´t hear from him in so long.it has been weeks....but it feel like Years.

ahhhhhhhhh mom :) you know you are in my prayers.
is he going to file another appeal?
don't you just hate it when someone else does a crime that's far worst than what your loved on did and they get less time. where is the justice?

Oh I forgot to add that I hope you get a letter soon!

Hi sweetie..nice to see you back ....
i try to find a laywer in the states now.Somebody told me to try and get a Pro bono
so i just wrote to ACLU...see if they answer me

good luck hang in there

I know how you feel about the 30 years, My hubby was given 45 years for 1st degree burgulary, and there people that get less time if they hurt someone. My baby was the one shot. He was charged as a violent offender and he is not violent at all, he was just on drugs at the time of his arrest, and just trying to support his cocaine habit and alcohol habit. He did'nt even know what he was doing at the time. But he is a changed man since he has been in. He has 8 years to go until his parole hearing. Keep the faith! :pissed:

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about this. My son is also in prison and he always has his hopes up for some way to get less time. He's tried everything in the book and it hasn't affected his sentence one ounce. He'll be in for at least 8 years, if not longer. When he calls, it's hard to hear the depression and disappointment in his voice, but I have to believe that there's a reason for this that we just don't know or understand. One thing about him being in prison is that he's cleaned up and is no longer doing drugs or alcohol and is in a recovery program, so for all the tons of negatives around his incarceration, there's one big ray of light. My fiance's in prison as well, also for an act he didn't commit - we even have the paperwork to prove it - but again, we've had no luck in lowering his sentence and others have gotten less time for more serious crimes. It is SO frustrating! He has another 11 1/2 years to go, so it's a long haul for both of them. I know how hard this is, especially being a Mom - hang in there and know my prayers are with you.

I am so sorry. Keep praying and thinking good thoughts.(((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))
