Jury Trial:
I chose to write about this because it was an important
moment in time for our whole family, and even our friends, this year. For Brady
and Lylah, I don’t need to remind them of all the details….suffice it to say
that our neighbor Brad has always been a concern based on his past criminal
record and behaviors we witnessed over 10
years. He took it next level when he followed Lylah and I on her 16th
bday.
Bottom line is it took almost a year to go to court for the
State vs. Merrifield case. Jon, Lylah and I all took the stand to testify
against Brad and while he was found not guilty (the jury was not allowed to
know anything about his prior record which greatly impacted the case), I am
grateful for the experience because……
We sent him a message, loud and clear. What he did was
WRONG. We aren’t going to sit back and put up with hit.
We were brave and honest.
And it was clear when 15 of our closest friends showed up
that we have a strong support system of people who really care about our family
and who know the TRUTH! That meant the
world to me.
