Request for Letters

Well this morning we attended a "Change of Plea" hearing where the defendant plead guilty to 1 count of Manslaughter, a class 2 dangerous felony offense. In exchange for his guilty plea, he received a plea bargain of 7-14 years in prison. Sentencing has been scheduled for May 28th @ 9:30am. At that time, the judge will determine his sentence (anywhere between 7 - 14 years) based upon our representation of how this lost has impacted our lives. It is up to us to portray to the court who Marjorie H. Weeks was and how she impacted our lives. A few of us will be selected to actually address the judge and tell our stories. We are also requesting that the witness who followed the defendant while on the phone with 911 attend and address the court. A slideshow of pictures portraying sweet memories will also be presented for the judge to review.
Since time and space is limited, the judge will also be accepting letters from friends and family, which describe what I stated above. If you feel so inclinded, will you please prepare a letter which describes the relationship you had with mom, the type of person you believed her to be and the affect this lose has had on your life. We need to have these to the judge no later than 1 week before sentencing so we are asking to receive them by May 14th. If you are not able to write a letter but want to email me your response that would be approriate as well. Letters can be sent to me at 34350 N Channi Trl, Queen Creek, AZ 85243 and/or ldsmom@cox.net
We only have 3 weeks to "spread the word" and collect these letters so please pass this email on to anyone and everyone who had a relationship with mom and might like to participate. My email list is limited.
With deepest appreciation we thank you for your love and support. The Family of Marge Weeks
