I was given seven 25 years to LIFE sentences for committing credit card fraud in the amount of $5,220.32. Six of these are running concurrently and one was stayed. I have NEVER been arrested for a violent crime, used a weapon, kidnapped anyone, or committed a sex crime. I am not one of those “violent predators” the public was told the Three Strikes Law would take off the streets. Society should be locking up the people who perpetrate violent and heinous crimes, not those they are just mad at. I refuse to believe that I am disposable, that I have no value and have no place in society. I am a mother, daughter, aunt, sister, friend and someone who is loved and very much missed.
