On a fateful day, my son, Kazia G. Blunt, an innocent bystander, was brutally shot by probation informants who were getting high outside his girlfriend's house. He had just turned 18 and had his whole life ahead of him - he was a high school graduate, a talented athlete and a full-time employee. His life was cut short senselessly.

Despite the gravity of this crime, the plea bargain offered to these murderers is merely 15 to 20 years in prison - an insultingly inadequate punishment for their heinous act. We cannot allow such injustice to prevail.

Our legal system should be designed to protect innocent lives like Kazia's and ensure that those responsible for taking them face appropriate consequences. The current plea deal fails miserably at this task.

We are asking you to stand with us in demanding that the judge deny this plea bargain and instead sentence these criminals to Life without the possibility of parole - a punishment more fitting for their crime.

Please sign our petition today so we can bring justice for Kazia G. Blunt and send a strong message that such acts will not be tolerated in our society.
