My mother Cherry created this blog to help me in my fight for justice. The blog belongs to her. These are just my mother's opinions. She is not a lawyer and nothing here is intended to be treated as legal advice or anything else but her personal opinions.
All legal documents (including evidence of the crimes) are public knowledge and any information linked on this blog can be found else where on the internet or is available under the Freedom of Information Act.
I come from a small town in Illinois called Crete (Will County the Same as Drew Peterson).
I have reported the abuse and have cooperated with the authorities. I want to take a stand against domestic violence.
Pray the justice system takes these acts of violence seriously and the justice is served.
