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.

Seandell Jackson

Seandell Jackson was convicted of murdering Nathan Potter who was a student at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He had attempted to rob him, however Nathan was not carrying any cash and was merely traveling from one location to another at the time of his death. There is nothing special about Seandell, other than he is the poster child for why prisons exist, and that he and his family are responsible for the choices he made that day. When he was sentenced for first-degree intentional homicide and attempted robbery, he was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole, he screamed obscenities, and had to be tackled and pepper sprayed. He was not alone in his outbursts, his family yelled out as well: " I hate you! I hate you all!", " I hate all of you!", " God's the judge" . Funny to bring God into things when your family member has committed which God forbids. Perhaps they were absent on the Sunday that was being taught. It's easy ...

Dear Jaycee Lee Dugar

Dear Jaycee, Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for being so courageous and putting into words what so many of us feel. Some of us were raised in homes with parents like your captor. No one ever noticed our suffering or our bruises. Some of our scars are invisible, just like yours. So many chances to be saved, but getting involved would have made them committed to a human being that was not their own. I'm sorry for your suffering. I am thankful you have been able to rebuild your life with your mother and daughters. I understand your desire to avoid publicity and the spot light. No one in their right minds wants to be known for trauma. You put into words so many things that so many of us live with, but words and explanations escape us. How does one explain the difficulty of a crowd and the danger associated with strangers and what they might do to us. It seems impossible, and yet you've done it. I don't know how many “outlayers” will contact you t...
