message from trandis / nina courtepatte's sister

this afternoon i wrote a post (see below) about the outcome of the second trial in the death of nina courtepatte. the outcome of the trial left me shocked and horrified. i was surprised to see that her sister trandis replied to my post. i want to post her reply because people need to know how much a death like this affects a family.

My name is Trandis Arsenault. Oldest sister to Nina. The pain you write, is the pain I feel everyday. I feel no cause to move or live because such a sweet innocent life has been brutually taken from us. This star has been destroyed. She had a future that was one to be proud of and sure of. These people that took that sweet life, now have a life and can still breathe and smile. They can love and live. They can talk and walk. They can do the mundane tasks we the living take for granted. Nina will not have a sweet SIXTEEN this October 4, 2007. She will not go on a first date and have her first kiss from someone she loves. She will not go to the prom. She will not graduate from High School. She will not go to sleep and wake up to look forward to another day. She will not eat another supper. She will not play with her sisters or her brothers. She will not get a first job. She will not save money to buy a car. She will not, She will not. She will not. Michael Briscoe has had all of this and he will have more. Joseph Labucan will have a life even if it is jail. The other YOUTH offenders will still louve, love and grow. MY SISTER WILL NOT. MY SISTER WILL JUST SLEEP NEVER TO WAKE. MY SISTER WILL NEVER SAY HEY SISSY TO ME. MY SISTER WILL NEVER HUG ME.

Justice has not been done. The information is still there. Michael Briscoe was still there, he still was part of the plan. He still hung out with them after. If he was so innocent, he should have taken the first chance he had to tell somone. He can not say he was scared. He us a 36 year old man. He has to be held accountable for this. He was still there he still took action. He is not as innocent as they believe, he is very much as guilty as the rest. He took a life and now he has a life. NINA'S. The shining star. The model to be. The woman to be. The child forever.
