How you can help

On July 2nd, 2019 my family's life changed forever.

My best friend, my little sister was walking down the street with her boyfriend, minding their own business when two REPEAT juvenile offenders stalked and murdered them in cold blood.
All for a piece of leather. A designer Michael Kors purse. My sister Brittany's purse that she was so proud of buying, saving up her own money.

The angry black teen shot her twice in the head and once in the arm.

Six months earlier that teen was arrested for armed robbery and the judge let him back out on the streets on an unsecured bond.

I found out Brittany was murdered before the police even had her body identified. One of her friends sent me a video of my little sister flopping around on the asphalt road in a pool of blood and brain matter. Hysterical her friend was asking if that was Brittany.

Bystanders had recorded my sister's dying body
gasp for air, in the final moments of her life and had
posted it on social media and a website called Baltimore Murder Inc.

It took forever for Facebook to remove the content which was constantly being republished. It might still even be online somewhere.

There was a mountain of evidence against the teen, but the system protected and adopted him.

The state didn't file the motion to deny him parole on account of him being a minor.

In twenty years there will be a possibility that this predator who committed a double homicide will be let out on the streets again.

Because of an extremley flawed "justice system" made by both corrupt, incompetent, and out of touch law makers, it took four years to go to trial.

In the court room, my family and I were re-traumatized by the process.

The state had packed us into a tiny courtroom with the killer by the door, and his family sat behind us taunting.

The judge did not even give the killer the maximum penalty on ALL of the charges, which already isn't enough.

There's more concern about the defendant's rights and Brittany was forgotten about.
Turned into a statistic.
The press hardly reported on it...black on white crime happens all the time in Baltimore. Just another mugging/robbery/homicide. Not as juicy as police brutality or racism.

People profited off my sister's death but not me or my family.

The state valued my sister's life at $5,000 dollars which wasn't even enough to cover her modest funeral which was $15,000.

Family members become the new victims as we are the ones who were given a life sentence of pain and suffering.
Therapy bills, meds, and expenditures. Only in America do VICTIMS have to PAY for being victimized!

All while the killer gets free room and board, a gym, and an education in prison. Where is the justice?

Why are we expected to suck it up, move on, get over, get back to work! How is that just?

Why does the killer get to see his family again, and have moments of joy, laughter, pleasure when Brittany doesn't?

Ever since Governor O'Mailey took away the death penalty in Baltimore, the city has become a war zone.

The only way to get politicians to take real action and make swift change is by public outrage.

And people should be outraged that our laws and systems are creating environments that are breeding violent offenders and denying victims and their families the retribution they deserve.

You don't believe in the death penalty...? You will when it happens to your loved one.

My sister's blood can't go to waste. She can't be just another statistic.

People need to know about what's happening before it's too late, and they find out like my family and I.

Too many victims are suffering in silence, pretending they are okay on the outside but are being victimized. Speak up!

Our voices and stories must be shared with the world to inform, re-educate, and CHANGE!

That's what I know this documentary could do.

Show people the sacredness of life. The reality of violence and murder, the impact and aftermath of it that media likes to glamorize/glorify.

Remember the victim.

Remember the horror/terror and fear that violent predators put them through.

Remember the family members pain and suffering. The trauma they endure for the rest of their lives.

Remember Brit.

Remember US!
