I hope and pray that with the influence and communicating power of this
web site, that "Penny's Law" will be passed in New York State. On May 9, 1999 (Mother's
Day)
my family
changed forever when my wife went for an afternoon run with our two family dogs. She was RAPED
and MURDERED by a fifteen-year-old. I can't describe in words how unreal
everything seemed. Nothing that I could do could bring her back, and nothing
that I could do could bring her justice. Even though Kindt was "tried as an
adult", that meant nothing because he was still sentenced as a juvenile. Justice
was not served. The law must be changed. I only hope and pray that "Penny's Law" passes in New York State
so a higher degree
of justice could be served in future instances of juvenile violence. This injustice
should never touch another family in New York State. I thank you for all of your support.
