Attorney Charged With Attempted Murder
gee, i wonder how this will turn out. i notice, looking at the DA's press releases, that cases like bekah's show up at arraignment, but are never followed through. in other words cooley wants readers to see how tough he is on crime, charging hit and run drivers with murder when appropriate, etc. but since no one gets convicted, because his office bargains away all these cases, the outcome is not reported.

this may be a premature accusation. but i'll go ahead and put it out there anyway, because that is how fucking sure i am that i am right.

the DA told us that bekah's case was to be vertically prosecuted, "high profile." nicholas rini left messages on my phone: "I'm calling to discuss your daughter's murder."

so. i did discuss this at counseling as well. lately i have a huge urge to either call him, or show up at his office or in court even, or to ask if i can buy him lunch, and tell him hey there's nothing more I can do, now I want to know.

everything i want to know. because her father is not calling me back. the clock is ticking. and my daughter's spirit, sometimes even now, it cries for justice. rambo's not going to be charged with perjury regardless of how blatant and infuriating her lies. she'll be left with her denial and her memories of two years in prison. i'm sure they were just hell on her.

bekah will still be dead. so. my counselor said go for it. i said i know i cannot have satisfaction but it would be something just to make him squirm for a sec. it was one of the rare times i saw him actually show indignation when he said, "Yes, do it, make him squirm."

DA's need to know what they do sometimes...that families of innocent victims do not go deaf dumb and blind, and that wildly disparate sentences for practically identical crimes don't make sense, that when they enlist the family of a victim as parties to a travesty of justice with their spin and their lies they do grievous wrong, that they are bound ethically to tell the truth and should do so, even if it might leave their case open to a challenge by the victim's family, etcetera.

nicholas rini deserves to hear it from me, i think. i can be strong.
