I want you to know that, despite the circumstances that have led us to this situation, I have always had the intention of helping people with their health. Sometimes life takes us down unexpected paths, and I am committed to learning from this experience and seeking positive ways to contribute to society in the future.
At this moment, we need your support more than ever. I humbly ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers. The strength of the community and the support of close friends are crucial to keeping us strong and focused on the path of redemption and personal growth.
Furthermore, I am pleased to inform you that we are appealing the sentence. We firmly believe in justice and that there is more to discover in this case. We have 30 days to file our appeal, and we are committed to exhausting all available legal resources to seek a review of the sentence and ensure that justice is served.
Our families are devastated by the current situation, and it's important to note that we have relatives in Colombia and Miami who depend on us. This adds an extra layer of concern for us, as we strive to provide for our loved ones while facing these legal challenges.
And then they go on to ask for financial support.
No mention of "time served" counting. So that is strange.
Or "to be served concurrently", which sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.
I think at the discretion of the DA (s) and Judge and whatever laws are on the books for the jurisdiction.
Who knows why the sons got more time for the other counts and they weren't dismissed.
They probably had some piss-poor lawyers, who I would bet they didn't listen to, anyway.
I wouldn't be surprised if it (all of it) had something to do with their
"Only God can judge us and we don't recognize your authority" (non-) 'defense'.
They most likely Screwed the Pooch on that one.
Judges and Courts don't like that attitude.
I've never heard of it working, as one can imagine.
So they basically Martyred themselves before their God and Religious Beliefs.
Don't Hate the Player, Hate the Game, but Play the Game when it's in your Best Interests.
Or Suffer the Consequences.
I feel sorry for them, but imo they brought most of it on themselves.
So that's all unfortunate. And sad.
I hope they let them take MMS in the Prisons.
But I would not be surprised in the least if they did not.
Best of Luck to them all getting through the next several years.
