I don't understand that at all. Your son was not doing anything aggressive. Does this mean that if someone comes onto our property and knocks on our door we can shoot them and claim self defense? Our justice system is incorrectly named. It is the Injusitce system. Of course it is really the Criminal Justice system and it does seem to be geared to get them off. I am so sorry about your son. I have lost faith in the entire justice system. We were told that we could have Kaylin's things back after he took the plea. I got a copy of her journal and a letter telling me I couldn't have her things back. Apparently dirty clothes in a back pack are a bio hazard. Watch out if you go to a laundry mat. They lie to us and tell us what we want to hear and then when we expect them to honor their word they start back pedaling. I think they don't want us to see how badly they fumbled the case. I don't trust people any more. The murderer steals so much from us don't they?

I've been dealing with something similar, my son was murdered by the stepson of a cousin. I disasociated myself with that faction of the family. Actually I seldom have any contact with even the reasonable family members.

My suggestion to you is MOVE, if you can. Do not under any circumstances get caught up with a Hatfied's and McCoys situation.

You want a heavenly reunion with your son, right? Do the right thing.

yea we own other property and was realy thinking hard about moving, not sure if we want to let the bas,,, run us out of our home.He just rents his

Carol, I send you my love and want you to know that although I do not visit this site often, it has helped me a lot in my grieving process. My son's murderer was also set free. The government officials who tried to cover up the murder have not been charged or reprimanded. There is no justice it seems. This grief is the most difficult we will endure, but know that the mothers at this site truly understand and will be a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen~c

Hi!
I can tell you now that there's no way on this world that I could do it.
My son was murdered Mother's Day 2001. He was in the car with his Cousin( the owner of the car)! Two Guy walk up to the car and was trying to carjack them.
They told us that these guy's could not be charged with Captial Murder because my Son falt back. Didn't get out of the car when they told him to!!!!
I know you are going through HELL!!!! The only way I make it now is because I tell myself that He is in a better place than we are!!
I'm fighting really hard because Mother's Day is coming up fast....
Nine years but it seems like yesterday...
I can't tell u that it will get better! I can tell you what very wise friend told me.GOD PUTS NO MORE ON OUR SHOLDERS THAN WE CAN HANDLE , SO WE HAVE TO BELEIVE THAT HE WILL SAND BY US ALL THE WAY..
God bless you!! this the hardest thing you will ever have to do..

Carol, I too hate that you have found yourself here, My son Chris was gone less than a year when we were forced to accept that his killer, his father would out in just 15 months. They knew all along my son was not the parental abuser they allowed him to be protrayed by his killer...8 shots and an attempted disposal to the sea later they allowed him to say Chris was beating him but he was reclining when shot I have just learned...and they knew.
I am very sorry you have this loss in your life.
As you now know life is different for us
Much love to you

My heart goes out to you. My son Zachary was recently stabbed to death. As a Christian, I am dealing with forgiveness. Please know the victory is yours. Your son would want you to forgive the person who took his life. Look up to your son's redeemer and ask for the help you need. Don't let this tragedy claim two lives.

God Bless,
Zachary's Mom
(I love you Zach)

My heart breaks for you. My son, Ryan, was murdered by the police Aug 6, 2010. The Texas Rangers are investigating and the grand jury convenes Nov 16th. It would take a miracle for the police to admit they could have handled the situation differently. We wait and live in limbo. I pray and cry everyday for my beautiful son knowing he will never hug me again or say "I love you Mom". I will try to hold on and I hope all the other mothers will do the same.
You are in my prayers too.
Pattie

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I would not put much faith into the fact that the Texas Rangers are involved in your case. They were involved in my son's murder as well. It did not do any good. The murdered was not indicted. In fact,the two charges of assault with a deadly weapon that he is facing for threatening two people who tried to render aid to my son, he still has not went to trial for those charges.
