A Hearing in Florida

a picture naples daily news took of us entering the court room

Oscar Wells and I traveled to Florida last week to attend a long coming trial for the murder of my baby brother Jake. We were told to be in court on the 6th of December for the trial to convict the shooter but when we arrived the morning of the 6th, the Judge informed us that the trial will be set for January.
What did take place in court was a hearing for the defense. The defense attorney was asking for the trial to be dismissed on self defense. It was a joke to sit and listen to the defense attonrey try to paint a picture of this man shooting Jake in the back who was running away from a man with a gun to be self defense. 2 hours of witnesses later and the judge saw that there was no way he was going to grant a dismissal. With that behind us we are  now praying for this trial in January.
