Texas teen facing long sentence

Original post date: 17.06.2008 Jean Ponzanelli was in court yesterday. His attorney asked the judge to reset his hearing on the writ. The attorney is asking the court to allow Jean to withrdraw his plea based on the immigration issue. The judge said he would reset the hearing for 7/2/08 as he doesn’t see the writ happening. The judge also scheduled the revocation hearing for the same day. So, looks like the judge will recommend the appellate court to deny the writ and will revoke Jean’s probation and sentence him to prison on 7/2/08. Jean is looking at a 10 year prison term. I just want someone to tell me this is really not happening in this great country of ours. The bottom line is that we are sending a kid to prison for having sex with another kid. The court will argue that he is being sent to prison for violating probation. I would argue the kid should not…

Stupidity

My son is just stupid. He had a camera in his bathroom that was motion activated. His stepdaughter found herself on the internet one night and her mother jerked up the computer and took it to the cops.  He had friends that had been stealing stuff out of the bathroom for years and had finally gotten a camera.  Months later the mother got custody of the daughter and it never occurred to him to take it down.  He had tried to download it to the computer but did not think it worked as he never could find anything, so he just put the camera back up to use as a towel rack, which it was.  Now he is facing 5 years if he takes the deal or life if he goes to trial. All the lawyers tell him to take the deal that you cannot afford to go to trial in the Bible-thumping state of Alabama.  This is killing us. …

Separated for life

I met a very sweet loving woman in Manila Philippines in 2008 and revisited her 7 times and was married in 2010 with dreams of being together forever here in the USA. Now the USCIS will not allow me to bring my wife to the United States because I’m on the registry in Alabama. Also now after 7 wonderful trips spending every minute together, we now have to inform Interpol anytime we travel outside the USA. Interpol notified the Philippine government of my last trip there and I was refused entry to the country, now on the BLACKLIST there. We are married for life under Philippine law and I love her with every ounce of life I have. I do everything I can to make life as normal as possible for her and she still has hopes and dreams, but it seems now we can never see each other again. They will not even give her a visa to visit here because…

My grandson’s tragic suicide

Ethan was the most gregarious, full of life child and young man, with the most beautiful smile and sky blue eyes. He was thoughtful, loving, insightful and had a heart of gold. He had ADHD and probably bipolar disorder. At 14 he was molested by an adult. At 10 he lost his mother to meth addiction. He was in and out of psychiatric centers, but didn’t lose his zest for life and hope for a good life and future. He made the foolish choice at 19 years old to engage in a sexual act with a 15 year old girl that had been pursuing him for months. He immediately felt bad and went to her mother and confessed and apologized. She brought charges and he went to prison, labeled a sex offender, for sexual indecency with a child, and served almost four years. He was released on parole in June of 2012, and struggled to find his place in life…

ANOTHER new law to be in PA

5/9/2013 This just reported on local news Rep. Scott Burns is pushing for a bill to bus children if a predator lives in the school district BUT then it went on to say that if sex offenders lived in the area it didn’t matter whether it was a public or private school. This is all aimed at keep our children safe. I believe he is aiming it at Cambria and Somerset counties, but it might be state wide.
