Criminal history bumps up sentence for Meece

I am in shock over her only recieving 94 months. To me that in nothing more than a slap on the hand. I totally agree with bob that our laws in cases like this are really crappy. not only in Kansas but in all states. I come from Az and trust me they aren't any better. A friend of mine was shot in the back while walking away and the guy who pulled the trigger was released on self defence charges cuz my friend had a gun in his waist band of his pants. Fact is he pulled the trigger as my friend had his back turned!!! several witnesses were there to see what happened. and yet the state charged his best friend with his death for moving him to the back of a truck to take him to seek medical attention. Wicked twisted laws!!! Ricky's life was WORTH WAY MORE THAN 94 MONTHS! I believe in everything Ann said in her statement. Stabbing once is one story but knowing what you did and the fact that he was bleeding and making the decision to stab him a second time took nerve. She knew exactly what she was setting out to accomplish when she did it the second time. I personally have lost some faith in our judicial system and am appalled that they didnt take all the steps needed to make sure they were totally and completely prepared b4 they offered her a plea. This goes out to you Ricky... Though you are no longer here with us on this earth you are loved and missed dearly and not a days go by that you aren't thought of.

Meece bound over for trial

i have spoken to his mother who does get on here and read the comments everyone leaves. she was present in the prelim trial yesterday. she sat thru the pictures they took of the scene and heard all the testimony. why don't we all take a minute to say a silent prayer for her for what she has had to endure. no mother she have to go thru what she is going thru. I love you Ann. You are in my always in my heart and most def in my prayers.

Killing shocks Young Man’s friends

until you have heard the entire story it is not fit to judge anyone. i have heard my fair share of what this girl is capable of and what she has done and it sickens me. Ricky was very close to me and my children and she took that away from not only us but from his family. regardless of what she has been thru in her life he did not deserve to die. i will carry the burdens of what if my entire life and although he is gone he will never be forgotten. she will pay for what she has done if not in this life then she will when she answers to our lord.
