The Life and Times of Veronic Staley


Vernonica Staley was recently sentenced to life for the murder of Aljosa (Al) Memovic. She was thirty four years old at the time of the murder and was an aspiring singer. They had dated for some time, but in the previous year and half their relationship had deteriorated considerably. Friends had in fact warned Al to not meet up with Veronica. She had set up the telling him she had some of things to return and offered up “Dessert” after the lunch, according to the Houston Chronicle.

While not much is known exactly about the length or nature of their relationship, relatives testified that Staley had deep mental issues after trauma she suffered in childhood. The prosecutors acknowledged she had issues, but said they were not sufficient enough to impact her sentencing. This is as it should be. There are literally millions of people living in the United States who have had childhoods filled with unimaginable pain and suffering who do not go on to kill others or live a life of crime.

The two points I wanted to make are as follows. If you have mental health issues (and typically you are much more aware than others that they exist), take action and get treatment. If you have stopped taking meds or refuse to take them, reconsider because they could assist you in living a happier life that respects the rights of others. The second point is that mental illness takes a terrible toll on everyone involved. Look at the differences in the photos. Clearly Veronica has been impacted as well.

The Tragic Death of Gabrielle Barrett

Gabrielle Barrett was a four and a half year old little girl who had only been living with her mother, Candice Diaz for three months when she died on New Year's Eve at the hands of her mother and her mother's boyfriend, Brad Fields. The child was covered in bruises and suffered burns allegedly because she ran her own bath. Prior to this time, she had spent her entire life with her Grandmother, Cynthia Diaz who failed her horrendously by leaving her in the care of her mother. The grandmother claimed the child had to live with her mother to attend pre-k schooling. This school attendance is not mandatory, but is optional. In most states you are not required to enroll your child in school until the age of six. The grandmother stated during the preliminary hearing she saw Gabby on Christmas and she appeared fine. Her hair and teeth were fine, though allegedly she had head lice (not life threatening and easily treated). She did everything but backflips to defend her daughter...

Sterling Kohen & Questions

Sterling Kohen was a three month and thirty day old baby. At his murder trial, the prosecutor used the word malicious many times and to be honest, it's the perfect word. He was born healthy and over the course of his very short life he remained so and gained weight and grew. At some unknown point and for reasons that are not particularly clear, she began to resent his intrustion on the life she had shared with her older daughter Nala and he boyfriend Zach. He was found in a house that contained everything he needed to survive – formula, bottles, diapers, diaper rash cream, wipes, and clean clothing and blankets. It was not as if they could not afford to care for him. The father believed he was not his child and ignored him for the most part, which no doubt played a part in his mother's rejection. Both parents were abusing meth at the time of the murder. The father was gainfully employed and provided for the physical needs of the child. At the Zach's trial, DN...
