Five reader comments about Richard Martinez
It tears me apart day after to even think about that day on Feb 26, 2007. Richard Martinez was my oldiest brother. He brought peace an love into our house. Once he passed away it all went to hell. Our Family just fell apart. i dnt think we will ever be the family we once used to be. I have alot of Hate an very little patence for anything since then. i dnt know what this comment is suppose to do but hopefully it will make me feel a little better since i wrote about it somewhat.

Deion
I know that you are hurting, But I want you to remember that vengence is mine say's the Lord and I will repay. These cowards may have got by for a moment but they did not get away. God said he will repay. God's word wont return unto him void but will accomplish what he sent it to do. Be healed Deion. Ask the Lord to take away the hurt. He will comfort you and your family. Trust in Him, turn to him in your time of trouble and he will strengthen you all.

What happened to the murderer? Why don't you read the last line of the story. Oh, I forgot, you don't have to read it. You can make it up as you go along.

Look at the date. Three and a half years later, just what happened to the accused? Awaiting trial? Found guilty and sent to prison? Acquitted?
Anything else you need explained?
