As usual, I am endlessly behind and know I will never catch up, so thank you all.
I am so pleased that Kelsey's mom was able to express all that has been pent up inside since this horrible tragedy happened. I hope they will be able to move forward in their lives now and also have a chance to grief the loss of their beloved Kelsey while raising that beautiful little girl that is a part of her.
Have to tell you...this was the second time in about a month or so that I was waiting on a verdict and it came in as I was walking my puppy...now I know the trick for a verdict!!
Good puppy! Love this story.
I am grateful CB was finally able to let it all out, too. In a very classy manner, I might add. What a terrible heartache for her as a Mom, for her Dad, her brother, and her darling daughter, who will grow up without both parents in her life. Things that are so important to a little girl growing up, all taken away by a vicious and brutal, pre-meditated act.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Some of this can be looked at as a reflection on Patrick's mother- calling Kelsey a hooker, kicking her out when she got pregnant, and many other things. His sister, too, brutally attacking Kelsey on social media, up until he got arrested. Both SF and EF filing for custody of Baby K- perhaps there is some rife between mother and daughter as well?
God speed to Patrick's brother. I can't imagine how hard that had to be, to be a witness for the prosecution. Let's forget that he's an officer of the law for a moment- this is his brother, his blood. No matter what his profession is, that still has to hurt like hell to turn on your own brother. No doubt, MaF thought that SF2 was going to use his influence to get her other son off, but he did the right thing. Sometimes doing the right thing hurts the most, you know what I mean? They had also just lost their father, shortly before Kelsey was murdered. We have no clue if any of the kids were close to the Dad, if they were, they, too, were grieving at the time (I am talking SF2 and possibly his sister). They already had issues going on with the estate, which seemed strange to me, that they were already in full battle, just two months later. So they have a cold mother, we don't know much about the father, then his brother murders his girlfriend, and he's locked up in a battle over the father's estate with both siblings. He's probably wishing he could run away now and not have to deal with this anymore. He has a family, too- this trickles down to many victims, as I have said numerous times. He's the only victim, along with his own family, that I feel for on Patrick's side. This unfortunately follows him for the rest of his life, too- he's "that brother of the murderer in jail for life."
Life in prison is still too good for Patrick. I really hope they go hard and heavy after whoever was involved with those letters, if you catch my drift. Coded sentences and code words, meant for someone just as evil as Patrick to receive. Thank goodness Doe didn't go through with any of this, or tried to recruit help in doing so.
