I am angry with what happened to my big sister. My whole family is hurting. They say that time will heal things, but she was apart of all of us, and i'm not sure how that ever heals.

Thank you all for your comments, and I place the guy that did that to my sister in the Lords hands, that He will judge him according to his actions

I worked with Cassondra and I send my prayers to your family. This is a unspeakable tragedy. I believe no one deserves to die that way. I just found out what happened to her today, and I couldn't believe it. This has been on my mind constantly since, I just cannot imagine why some one would do such a thing. It truly sickens me to my stomache and in one effect seems so surreal. She didn't deserve that I know she didn't. So times all you can to give your troubles up to the Lord and let him guide and heal you.

The death penalty was put on a moratorium because too many innocent people were on Death Row. The moratorium was enacted by a Conservative governer.

I think this situation is horrible and it makes it worse this poor woman had children but their is no evidence to conclude that a death penalty prevents terrible acts of violence like this.

Judge Parker once said: "it's not the severity of the punishment, it is the consistancy of the punishment that detours crime" I dont know if was right or not, but I do believe that capital punishment would ease alot of financial burden, as well as open room for a growing number of lesser sentence offenders, and there is always that chance that it will detour crime, if we did it consistantly, and since we have not done that, how could we conclude if it would prevent.

And I think conservatives are more apt to vote for capital punishment than are liberals.

Thank you so much for your prayers. How lond did you work with my sister? It has been two months now since she's been gone. Though it still seems like yesterday. I'm not sure what will happen next. I only hope and pray that her kids left behind will find comfort in the the Lord as well as their other relatives.

This is the first time since my cousin passed that i've been able to read something about this tragedy without feeling like i couldn't breathe. I ask God every day to give me the strength to forgive myself for leaving her that Sunday night.My whole life has changed since that night.I need to find some comfort,it's just so hard! May god bless her beautiful babies.

look everybody that has a love one that is gone is going to hurt emotionly, but did any of yall ever think how bad my brother is hurting. He didnt try to kill that girl , my bro is not a killer that much i do know, the only logically reason for him pushing her out the car is cause he probaly didnt want to die himself she was under the wheel dead what was he suppose to do . What i want everyone to know is that my brother was setting in a out of town jail by himself fucked up over what happen he wounldnt even talk with his own mother. Yall share so much harsh words for my borther and he has not one time had anything bad to say about her after the fact she was dead.It was a fucking accident lay off of my brother cause i know and plenty of other people know, that girl was crazy i seen her do crazy shit with my own eyes so i know and im sure u do to.
