Dear Amanda this is great news!  However it is only the beginning of a very long process.  It has taken soooooo long to put him in jail and now there is "due process". You will need to build up your endurance and make sure you take care of you and your son first.  This may drain you of energy but you can tap into me anytime for encouragement.  Remember true justice will come from God and he does not go lightly on murderers.

Man was entitled to enjoy the life that God granted him, and anyone who deprived him of that life would be answerable to God. This was shown when God said to the murderer Cain: “Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.” (Ge 4:10) Even a person hating his brother, and so wishing him dead, or slandering him or bearing false witness against him, and so endangering his life, would bring guilt upon himself in connection with the blood of his fellowman.—Le 19:16; De 19:18-21; 1Jo 3:15.

Because of God’s view of the value of life, the blood of a murdered person is said to defile the earth, and such defilement can be cleansed only by shedding the blood of the murderer. On this basis the Bible authorizes capital punishment for murder, through duly constituted authority. (Nu 35:33; Ge 9:5, 6) In ancient Israel no ransom could be taken to deliver the deliberate murderer from the death penalty.—Nu 35:19-21, 31.

That may not be the verdict in Danny's case but remember God sees it all - no one will escape God's judgement.  

I hope you will keep me up with the proceedings...

Love to you and your son,

Brenda

Dear Brenda

Thank you always for how you share. You give words of Wisdom when they fail the rest of us. Of course, I realize the Source of that Fountain but appreciate how you carry on for all of us here. We all rejoice for Amanda and her family and know there are more challenges ahead but there is One who will always uphold us, no matter the sorrow. Hope your health is doing better than I last heard. We are hanging in here but I don't have much internet time and have to use it for jobhunting. Take care, everyone, G~d Bless,
Ruth

Dearest Amanda,

This is the most wonderful news. Now there is a name and a face to this horror. I am so happy for you and your family. It is answered prayer. I have prayed for you and your little boy everynight, even when I wasn't on here for y'all. I agree Amanda, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!  There are still many steps for you ahead but as you keep faith and ask for help, you will get through it. Life and LA Sheriff's homicide have given you a victory w/more ahead. God Bless, Amanda, still and always in our prayers. Thank you, Jesus, as we have agreed together, so You have uncovered the hidden. We continue to ask for Your perfect Justice, in Your name. Amen.

This is great news, Amanda!! It IS going to be a long journey, but you've already come this far. Now, knowing he's going to be punished should make it easier to move forward. Congrats on that & keep us updated. :)

personally i find my peace ,has little to do with the justice system , it doesnt bring back the loved one , my peace came in finding the whole thing to be congruent in some sense i cannot fully place the puzzle together yet i know it fits . itis important how you use your thoughts in a positive way to in a sense send the loved one off in love and protection . free of the dross of anger . like a cleansed river flowing freely to , new times a new whole world .

Dear Amanda,

I am glad the next step has been taken in getting justice for your husbands murderer. I must try to prepare you for what's to come. My sister and brother in law were murdered February 10, 2013 2000 miles from my home. After over 2 years of legal back and forth, we finally went to trial in October 2015. Sentencing is this Friday. I am sick. I can't control my emotions. But, I don't want to make this about me.

I must ask you to make sure you are physically and mentally prepared for the legal process. It will not be "swift justice". My dear, you about to face so many new emotions. With our suspect jailed the day after the murder, we expected the court system to move trial along. There are many, many correspondences you will receive, notices of hearings, talking with lawyers, cancellations and delays that will try your very existence. We had 7 hard trial dates before we finally went to trial. It is exhausting. It is unbelievably stressful. Sitting silently, yes you have to show NO emotion in the court room or the defense can declare mistrial, is physically and emotionally taxing.

Honey, eat well, sleep until your able to wake, pray, hold tight to friends and family. Malik about your anxiety, fears and frustrations. You are entering a marathon and you will want to see this through! I hope you have the services of a Victim Advocate. Use them! Ask questions, no matter how trivial. Talk to the attorneys and detectives. Use all the resources available.

I am so happy you now have a suspect in custody. That is a big hurdle! I will pray for you, and please don't hesitate to reach out to me as you proceed....I'll try to help through my experience.
