Falsely accused and sentenced to life

[rita1fch]

My brother was senentced to life in July this year for a rape that was not a rape. They knew each other, my brother knew her husband. They didn't like each other because of something that had happened years earlier.(My brother and the husband), that is. My brother is married and has 3 small kids and so does she. We live in a small town, so everybody knows or knows of each other. This 28 year old female is known as a *****, dope head, and is known to have sugar daddies, not to mention giving 12 and 13 year old little boys alchol and booty if they brought to her the pain pills from their mothers cabinet. My brother did two bad, bad, things. He cheated on his wife, and was swapping two pain pills for the booty. Well her hubby drove by and caught my brothers car in the driveway, waited till he left, went back home, confronted his wife with a beating and made her call the police to my brother and cry rape. And thats exactly what she did. She told people before the trial that her husband made her do it and that she wasn't raped, but she wouldn't tell the DA the truth cause she was scared she would go to jail herself. She has ruined my brothers life, his wife's, children's, and mine and my childrens lives. We are hurting so bad. The day the verdict was read, it felt like a death had just happened. I cried for two weeks straight afterwards and can't get it off my mind still to this day. My mom is so depressed and cries all the time. My brothers children is having to seek counseling. His wife is struggeling to keep her sanity and to hang on to everything they have. To make matters worse we have to see the *****. Like I said we live in a small town, she actually now lives just down the street from me. I run into her sometimes while i'm out getting gas, or groceries. Just out riding around in the neigbor hood, there she will be at the fourway stop. Everybody knows that my brother didn't rape her except the right one's. Like the DA, and the rape crisis center lady. Even the judge and the main investigator didn't believe her, but the DA pushed it to a grand jury and my brother lost because his DNA was there. It was consentual sex not rape, and it proved not easy to prove on my brothers behalf. We ask that everyone pray for my brother, and for the girl that did this to him. Pray for God to send her a angel to work on her conscience.

The only way you can get your brother out of there is to get a confession from her,i no you hate her but right now its not about you.become her friend get that confession that the sex was agreed.then get you a lawyer,cause with her saying he rapped her and they got his dna the eyes of the law see him guily.believe me she will confess.

My heart goes out to you and your family. My brother is also serving a LWOP sentence due to a very sensitive and highly publicized case. I refuse to give up hope and with faith and perseverance this will not stand and be appealed. We all know how political cases can be and a conviction that will appease the community to gain a few votes is a good motive to punish an individual to the fullest extent that the law allows. The DA is not looking out for the people, but for themselves and possibly a future seat as judge. Have faith and be a strong support for your brother and family. I will keep you in my prayers.

Im sorry to hear that My nephew is serving 5-15 for something he didnt do either and it hurts me because another family member accused him of rape so he could come out and say he was gay I guess he needed a reason. so now my other nephew has to have his life recked by all this and it is very hard because mynephew is only 18 and his life was just starting.

Thank so much for your prayers. I soley believe that all things are in Gods hands and I know there is power in prayers. So please pray everyday for her to confess the truth and for my brother to be free. Yes, we are digging through the transcripts as we speak for a new trial. The judge did grant him an appeal. We keep our ears open for any new information we can get, but I really believe its gonna take her confessing the truth. Sincerely, Rita.... From Gurley Al.

I believe that thats the only way also. And how can I befriend her. She was awful during all this. She knows that we know the truth. Every time she sees us she pretty much laughs in our face. The evening before my brothers sentencing we came face to face in a local convient store, I dropped my pride and begged her to tell the truth, but instead she laughed in my face then called the DA and the rape crisis center lady and said that I threatened her life. So, the next morning at the sentencing, the Judge called me to his stand and told me I would go straight to jail, without a hearing if I did anything to her while the case was under him and that would be his case for the next 45 days. He was very nice with his words and was very understanding to my hardship, he even made the statement that this was brought to his attention and that he had no idea if it was to be the truth. After all that was said, honestly I was afraid to leave my driveway alone so I made sure I always had a wittness with me. If you have any suggestions to how I can befriend her please tell me. There is someone actually befriending her thats being lead by a county investigater, but its being taken very slowley, building trust. Thanks Rita..

Thanks for replying to my post. Please pray for justice and a true confession. We go every other weekend and visit with him. We all go, mom, wife, nephew, sister and his children. He hurts so bad when we leave. I feel so bad for him. My brother has had a hard life anyway and know this. He is so sweet and gental, wouldn't hurt a fly. He would give his shirt off his back to someone in need. Thanks again for the reply.. Sincerely Rita....

What you said is so true, and I'm so sorry that you and your family is having to go through these troubles. The judge granted him an appeal, so, now we are digging through the transcripts and keeping our ears open for all new information for a new trial. Sincerely Rita
