Background

(I wanted to take a moment to share an important update with all of you. My husband’s appeal is scheduled for November 20th, and we’re feeling optimistic. Our attorney believes we have a strong case, and I wholeheartedly agree. My husband is very innocent—there’s no doubt in my mind.)

It’s been a long and challenging journey, and while I’m grateful for the support of those who truly care, I can’t help but laugh at the audacity of strangers who feel entitled to share their unsolicited opinions. These aren’t attorneys, lawyers, or judges—they’re just internet trolls with too much time on their hands. I never asked for their input, yet they seem determined to tell me what’s “really” going on. It’s baffling, honestly.

I have a million better things to do than entertain the negativity of people who already dislike me for reasons I’ll never understand. Maybe it’s because my husband is very good-looking, or that I'm academically smart — who knows? Whatever their reasons, I don’t want to hear from them or be around that kind of energy. Unfortunately, that’s the world we live in. If only they knew what I know, or understood the truth, they’d think twice before speaking. But they don’t, and so they continue...

Back to the appeal: On November 20th, our attorney will have 10 minutes to present the case. She’ll argue that withholding vital documents—documents that prove my husband’s innocence—was wrong in every way. These documents were critical to the case, and their absence painted a false picture. The prosecution inflated figures and twisted the narrative to make my husband look guilty, while we told the truth. It’s infuriating, but sadly, it’s not surprising.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? People have been lying, making up stories, and hurting others out of spite, ego, or the need to be “right” since the beginning of time (just read the bible). Instead of admitting they were wrong, they double down on their lies, creating even more damage. It’s the same behavior we see in children blaming their siblings to avoid getting in trouble. The difference is, these are grown adults who should know better, but they don't. It is the battle of right versus wrong, good versus evil.

As my husband always says, “A man who blames or complains is not a man at all.” To add my two cents: they’re just grown-up babies who were never taught the difference between right and wrong. 

Thank you for reading and for standing by us during this time. Until next time…
