The victims impact statement that I gave at the sentencing hearing Februrary 19th, 2016:
In life, as a child grows older, the thoughts begin to enter your mind of the day that you must bury a parent. during those times it also presents the thoughts of losing that parent to a health concern, an accident or old age in which their body and God decides it is time to go. The pain of losing that parent is great in of itself. As there is no greater bond as that of a child to their mother, as is, in my case. But there is no greater pain, than losing a parent to a murder.
The heartache becomes even more, when you are personally connected to the person who committed the murder. The pain is unbearable in your heart and your mind as you continue to ask yourself, why? Why would anyone take the life of another, who has done you no harm? You are not just killing the intended person, but you are also killing those who actually loved her unconditionally. This pain has been overwhelming for me, but even more so for my grandmother Helen, my mother's mom who finally succumbed to the grief of her heart, literally dying of a broken heart, giving up on life, less than a year after my mother's murder. No mother should ever have to bury their child, especially to a murder.
I can also say a big piece of myself also died along with her. There is a big void that can never be returned, never be filled by another.
Those hours on the phone with my mother, are no more.
Those dozens of text notifications between us are no more.
Those birthday, mother's day, Christmas and just because I love you cards, are no longer in my mailbox.
Those giggling faces of my children when grandma would call, are gone and are instead tears and explanations of why grandma would not be coming to live with us.
Those plans of giving my mom a great life, where she would no longer have to work and worry about making money to get by. A life, I already had planned on giving her, gone forever due to someone's greed and hatred for me and my mother's happiness.
But most of all, what is gone, is my best friend, my bff, a person so dear to my heart who can never be replaced by anyone, my mother, Linda.
Linda, just as the Spanish translation of her name, beautiful. She was just that, beautiful in every way.
I ask of you, your honor, to take these things into consideration when making your decision today. Take into consideration the beautiful, loving, caring woman this man so coldly took away, from soooooo many people who loved her.
Please take into consideration, if he so coldly could shoot her in the back and leave her for dead, continuing to let her suffer for various minutes before her final breath. that this man, who only deserves to now be called a monster, does not deserve anything less than what he did to my mom.
He deserves to spend his LIFE in prison for what he did. , I know my mother is in heaven but I also believe a piece of her heart is in a prison knowing she didn't get to be around her grandchildren, but my children and I have come to settle in our hearts knowing she has become our guardian angel.
Your honor, you may think I am being cold hearted, but please let me explain breifly, I had a love for this man, even though what he put me through as a child, much of which no child deserves to live through, he was still my father and I still loved him. But the day I realized he took my mother from me, that love began to empty my heart as quickly as the sand from an hour glass.
Because of my love and faith in God, I forgive him, but I will never forget what he has done. What he has done is a domino effect to each and every person who loved her, myself included. Please your honor, grant us all the piece of mind, knowing he will serve the rest of his life where he belongs in prison, do not let his charm and smile decieve you as he has done to so many just to get what he wants… he deserves nothing less than Life. I thank you on behalf of myself, thank you on behalf of my family and friends who didn't get the opportunity to speak on my mother's behalf.
