THIS SITE IS THE GREATEST!!! I HAVE SEARCHED FOR TWO YEARS FOR ANYTHING THAT COULD GIVE ME INFORM ATION AND HELP. WELL I GUESS YOUR WONDERING WHY I"M HERE!!
I HAVE A DEAR FRIEND IN MARYLAND WHO IS GOING THROUGH A LIVING HELL.ANY INFORMATION OR GUIDANCE I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE!!! WOW I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START. WELL HE MET A WOMAN WHOM HE CHOSE TO BE WITH ALL OF THREE MONTHS. SHE HAD PREVIOSLY GIVEN HER CHILDREN OVER T FOSER CARE. WHICH SHE STILL HAD WEEKEND VISITS WITH. WELL THAT SOON ENDED AS THE CHILDREN CLAIMED THEY WERE ABUSED BY SIX PEOPLE IN THE PAST 5 YEARS.THE MOTHER BEING ONE, AND EX BOYFRIEND (WHO FAILED A LIE DETECTOR) AND OTHERS AND MY FRIEND RICK. WELL TO MAE A LONG STORY SHORT. RICKY WAS ARRESSTED AND BROUGHT TO TRIAL ON THESE CHARGES. THE MOTHER TOOK A PLEA BARGIN TO GIVE CUSTODY OF THE KIDS AWAY.WELL NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD A LAWYER HE WAS FOUND GUILTY AND THEN SENTENCED TO 450 YEARS. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS!!!!!!! I STILL REEL IN HORROR THAT THIS MISJUSTICE COULD HAVE EVEN TAKEN PLACE.AS I SAT IN COURT THE DAY OF HIS SENTENCING I COULD NOT EVEN BELIEVE WHAT I WAS HEARING.THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO THIS I COULD HAVE YOU READING ALL NIGHT. WELL THANKS FOR LETTING ME VENT
AND ANY IDEAS I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE!!!!

THANKS RUTH

Ruth,
That's a hell of a story.....but you never state what kind of help or information you're looking for?
450 years is a ridiculous sentence for any crime...guilty or not.
Let someone know what it is you are looking for . Maybe we can help.

PUPPY, THANKS SO MUCH FOR RESPONDING, I GUESS WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR IS TRYING TO GET SOMEONE TO LOOK AT HIS CASE. I JUST LEARNED YESTERDAY THAT THEY TURNED DOWN HIS SENTENCE MODIFICATION HEARING.THE SIX OTHER PEOPLE THAT THESE KIDS CLAIMED DID THIS NEVER HAD TO ANSWER TO THESE CHARGES. THE OLD BOYFRIEND FAILED THE LIE DETECTOR. HE IS HOME NOTHING HAPPENED!! RICK KNEW THESE KIDS THREE MONTHS EVERY OTHER WEEKEND, HOW CAN YOU BE FOUND GUILTY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM FOR 5 YEARS?? SOCIOL SERVICES WERE INVOLVED WITH THESE KIDS FROM AGE TWO!!! THEY ARE NOW 16 AND 14. MOST EVEDIENCE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BE ENTERED. RICK WAS SO RAILROADED, AND THE ONLY REASON ME AND HIS FAMILY CAN THINK IS BECAUSE HE HAD A PREVIOS RECORD AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE KNEW THEY COULD GET PRISON TIME BECAUSE OF THAT!! BUT HIS RECORD HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH KIDS IT WAS FROM WHEN HE WAS 18. RICKY IS NOW 40. IN THE LAST TWO YEARS I HAVE WaTCHED MY FRIEND AGE 20 YEARS. THISIS JUST SUCH AN OUTRAGE TO ME, THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS CAN HAPPEN IN OUR COURTS.!!!!!!
THANKS AGAIN, RUTH
