I have to live with that every day.

I believe people can change and should be given a Second Chance. I live my life to give back and to help others.

I respect your thoughts, but have different beliefs about that.

My brother and I went to prison for taking the life of our abuser. I spent 13 1/2 of a 25 year sentence in Alabama. Made parole and have been pardoned.

If you’ve never been in that situation where you feel like you life is constantly at stake- then you don’t understand their desperation.

I don’t condone murder- but I can understand being pushed to this state. My brother and I were there.

I never said they shouldn’t pay- but it’s time for FREEDOM

How could they have gotten away? Don’t you think Jose would have found them and harmed them. They would’ve ruined his life!!! He couldn’t have that.

They didn’t kill them for the money. My brother and I had 4 months before we were arrested. We had the same mentality they did- FREEDOM

@msnbc.com y’all want to have a conversation?????

I will have to disagree with you. There are a lot of people who escape their abusers like this. Look at Cyntoia Brown Long, Chrysal Kizer, Sara Kruzan, Jarret Harper, the Garlock Brothers, etc.

They did it to escape the abuse. All trauma responses

How should they have handled it? In 1989, they would be accusing a rich person of sexually abusing them. How would that have turned out? They were fearful for their lives and escaped the abuse. I believe them Wholeheartedly!!!!

@npr.org do y’all want to have a conversation about Survivor Homicide???

Why would you say that? They had been abused for years and committed the murders to escape. Have you experienced what they did????

Happy Juneteenth JD
