Tabitha Buck

Tabitha Buck was convicted in the murder of Lauri Show along with Lisa Michelle Lambert. Clearly,
time has been kind to neither woman. Inside sources tell us Tabitha is quiet, keeps to herself and avoids all unnecessary drama.

When the Supreme Court ruled that life sentences without parole were unconstitutional when utilized against juveniles, Buck became eligible to be re-sentenced for her role in the murder. She had the decency to testify on the stand, stating: “Honestly, I have some mixed emotions about today’s proceedings,” she said. “I can’t imagine how Laurie’s family feels that this is even happening. I also can’t imagine how my family is feeling that this is even happening”. Time will tell if she is safe to live in society without causing futher harm to others. In her defense, she was new to the area, had no friends and was befriended by Lambert who has proven herself to be controlling, domineering, and rather mentally ill. If released, she would relocate to Oregon, where she has family.

The same can not be said of Lambert. She is housed in the state of New Jersey due to rape allegations against Pennsylvania Corrections officers. You may recall that she alleged the local police of gang raping her. Clearly her opinion of herself and her attractiveness level to men is a bit too high. (On a
serious note, rape is never about sex, but rather power). Lambert is ineligible to be re-sentenced due to the fact she was 19 years old at the time of the murder. Further, Lambert has written a “tell-all” book that offers no new evidence and insists she was framed by the police and confessed to protect her abusive boyfriend. While I do not recall hearing evidence about abuse during the trial, he certainly had a penchant for date rape or a sense of entitlement much higher than the average teen boy. Having read some highlights of the book, it is fanciful story spinning at it's finest. She claims victimhood in every scenarios she chooses to present and presents herself as a completely innocent victim. Even if she was afraid of her boyfriend, she still chose to murder someone else. She is right where she needs to be.

Redemption of Buck is entirely possible. I'm confident she is not remotely the person she was when she made the decision to kill. To deny inmates the possibility of change is to believe that we too can not change since we have more in common with them then we dare admit to ourselves.

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

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 cr

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
