Jury Duty is over....some details inside

The defendant was charged with four counts of rape of a child. We found him guilty of all four charges.

It was definitely not an easy case to sit through, and my heart just breaks for this girl. The defendant is her uncle (she was 10 when it happened; 12 now; developmentally delayed so that mentally, she's more like 5). While it didn't have any bearing on this case, she's also been sexually abused by her father and by two cousins. Her name is Sarah. Please say a prayer for her. This little girl desperately needs genuine love and affection (which I also don't think she's getting from her mom or anyone else in this dysfunctional family).

It makes me so angry that people like this can procreate like rabbits, and I struggle with infertility.

I did confirm yesterday that there is a murder case going on in the same court this week; I'm so glad I didn't get put on that jury!!

    Oh Avila that's realy hard. I'm sorry you had to sit through that but even more sorry for that little girl. It sounds like she's suffered nothing but abuse for her entire life. I hope I don't get a case like that or I'll be the next defendant in a murder case.

    And I agree with you that it's not fair that good people who would raise children to be happy and healthy contributors to society struggle with infertility while so many others who have no business raising kids seem to pop them out year after year.

    All of this. 

    A big hug for you. Right Hug

  • Such a hard case to have to sit through.. I'm happy for you that you are done with that, and will definitely be saying a prayer for that little girl. Stories like this just break my heart. No one should ever have to go through anything like she has! Sad
