I have always said what is one my mind regardless of whether I thought about it first. Recently I found out that a convicted murderer in my hometown was up for parole this spring. At first I was in shock because I realized that it has been 18 years since this happened. The Christian in me knows that he must ask for God’s forgiveness and that I can not judge him. My personal feelings are that I hope he is kept in prison.
On August 1, 1990, the lives of 14 year old Cynthia Lewis and 18 month old Curtis Rizzo were tragically taken by a cold blooded killer, 14 year old Chad Alfred Campbell. I will never forget that day. Because for me and many of my friends that was a day that forever changed us. Now today he is 32 years old and doesnt even show any remorse for his actions. I could remain quiet about this but my friends know that I won’t. I pray everyday that justice will remain true and that he lives the remainder of his life in prison. Cyndi and Curtis were not given a future why should we allow their killer to have one. My thoughts and prayers remain with the victims families.
