The Issue

Our mother has been going through one of the worst and unbelievably expensive cases that we have ever experienced in our lifetime. We have been asked to not talk about it due to it being too soon before her court date (where even if you're not guilty, your words could be used against you in a future civil case or to pursue different, related criminal charges, despite protection from double jeopardy), so we have made it our mission to try to keep everyone up to date with what we can say. All we can say is that my mom has been of a clean record and has been nothing but supportive to us our entire lives working to raise us as a single mother.  All we can ask is that people speak the truth of who she was and how much she has helped through and through. We pray that she will be given justice and that she is returned to us as soon as possible .
