Our lives were shattered when my nephew Azathiel Pabon (AP), and two of his best friends Dakota Eldridge (Kota)and Isabella French (Bella) lost theirs, due to the reckless actions of Jayla Mueller. Jayla was the driver of a car that exceeded 100 mph, leading to a catastrophic one-car accident. Tragically, one of the victims was pregnant, essentially making it four precious lives lost in an instant. Jayla and her front-seat passenger were the only survivors. 

Despite the grievous loss we have suffered and the reckless disregard for human life she demonstrated, Jayla was granted youthful offender status and only received a sentence of 1.3-4 years. This diminished sentence belittles the severity of her crime and the irreparable damage done to our family and the families of the other victims.

Jayla has shown no remorse for her actions. This lack of contrition and the gravity of the pain and loss inflicted on our family necessitates that she completes her full four-year sentence at the very least. An early release would be a horrendous miscarriage of justice, an act of disrespect to the lives lost and their grieving families.

We implore the appropriate authorities to deny any early release or parole applications made on Jayla Mueller's behalf. Requesting the justice system to uphold her full sentence is a small, yet essential step toward healing. We deserve justice; the victims' memories deserve justice. Please support us by signing this petition. Demand that Jayla Mueller serves the full extent of her imposed sentence.
