Dear Honorable Judge Schmehl,

in the best interest of all involved, have decided to withdrawal from pursuing this case forward. It has
been almost 3 years since my son?s death and have come to terms with my loss. There will 
those waves of grief, I understand. Through prayer and the support from my church, I have found it in
my heart to forgive those that I feel have greatly hurt my family and I. I am being truly honest. I hold no
malice in my heart toward anyone.

I am not interested in any money, I never was. ljust wanted the truth as to what happened. For the first
time in 3 years I can honestly say that I am at peace with my soul. I know that one day I will be united
with my son and Itake heart in that.

It?s ironic how God works in our lives. Before I end, I would like to share with you a storyjust short ofa
miracle. For a year we had new neighbors in which we became friends. Tammy is the mother of 2
adorable boys. Her husband is Chris. My grandchildren and their boys are so close and play together
everyday. They play basketball, football, swim at each other?s house. On rainy days they play hide and
seek at our houses.

One day Tammy and were talking and she told me that her brother is an officer in Easton. When she
told me his name, all I could do was stutter, ugh, ugh. The next day she came to me in tears. She said, 
just put the pieces together, I didn't know.? It was her brother that took my son?s life. You can?t make
this stuff up! i told her, Tammy, I believe God brought our families together for a reason, she agreed. i
told her that i would never harbor any bad feelings. I cherish the friendships we have. Herfamily and
mine. We cried, we hugged. We vowed to protect our children and never discuss with them what we
had just discovered. Tammy and have the utmost respect for each other. She makes my
grandchildren's birthday cakes. They love her cakes.

In ending, I would like to convey to you that love is the best and most powerful gift there is in life. Your
Honor, I choose love.

Please let me know what i need to do to end this nightmare so i can start living again.

Sincerely and Respectfully,
