what's next

[usagainsttheworld]

Today a judge saw it fit to sentence a horrible person 5 years for murdering my husband. I'm not sure how to feel and I'm back at sqaure 1. I was glad his family and I got to share with the court our hurt and pain everyday since he's been gone but I just can't believe 5 years. I miss my baby and he's all I want. I don't know what's next in my life. This monster can get out and eventually have a chance of future. My future is over. I won't have kids with my highschool sweet heart or walk down the isle, call him to let him know how my day was. We had our entire life planned together now I got nothing. I thought we had forever.

I am sorry that is all the person who is responsible for taking someone's life punishment is. I know it is probably very difficult for you! Please don't feel like you will never have another life! I know that right now it may feel that way but somehow, someway, someone will walk into your life and change It forever! Hugs!

That must be incredibly hard. I cant say or do anything that will make it any better or easier other than to say that im thinking of you and wishing you the best *hugs*

5 years does not seem an appropriate sentence for taking a life. I have to say that I am impressed with your strength, though.. You were able to get up and speak about this tragety in court. Be proud you accompolished that.

It's hard to understand how a 5 year sentence is a fair and just punishment, but if it helps remember that there is a natural order to justice (karma) that works outside of jail and the judicial system.

I can only imagine your hurt and anger. I'm so sorry for this injustice.

It's hard to understand how a 5 year sentence is a fair and just punishment because it isn't. But our legal system being a joke is old news I'm afraid (OJ, need I say more). I'm so sorry us. I do agree that what goes around comes around though and I feel confident saying this person will never be happy because that will always hang over their head. I'm so sorry. I am glad you are able to be with his family as well and hope that helps you in these terrible times.

While this isn't going to help with the pain you feel right not, I really think you should consult with a lawyer about filing a civil suit. The money might or might not mean much, but you might make his life a little more miserable for many years to come. Give it some thought.

Iam so sorry dear , I know how horrible its . My guy died in a car accident after work but they still cant find the person who caused it . an eye witness reported to the police some details about the car that caused the accident , but still they cant find it. I understand your anger . Those people will be punished one day and they will suffer for what they did .

5 years or 500 years...there is no mortal justice for death, no punishment great enough for taking a life. None. I am so sorry for your pain and loss and the injustice of his sentence. Peace and love on your journey.
