Fourteen years ago today tragedy struck and my life has never been the same
I remember it like it was yesterday
Within seconds it was all over and I knew that it was gonna be the last time ...
For everything
Blunt force trauma to the head
On life support ... no brain activity
She's brain dead
She's taken off life support
This is not how I imagined saying goodbye
She'd just turned 3 and I'd just turned 5
I'd been forced to take on the mother-like role before it was my time
But I didn't care because as far as I was concerned, I was her mother
Through no fault of our own, we were robbed of our childhood and our innocense
He has no conscience
No remorse
He's a fuckin' sociopath
"We, the jury, find Donnell Joseph Demetrius Dutch guilty of felony murder."
He escapes the death penalty and life in prison
He's sentenced to 40 to 50 years in prison with the possibility of parole; (over my dead body) plus an additional 17 years for negligence and he has to do half of that 40 to 50 year sentence before he's eligable for parole
He's dying in prison
I don't know if he's came to that realization yet,
But on everything I love
I will ensure that he spends the rest of his days behind bars
It's not a threat
It's a promise
