lM PACT STATEM NT

My name is Abrielle Gumbs and my mother Paige Anne
Bennett was murdered on'the evening oflune 2nOl 2009. I
was seventeen years old at the time. Her sudden and
violent death has had a tremendous impact on my life.

Words cannot express the pain and-anguish our family and
friends have endured since her murder. It?s a pain that
never goes away. There is no closure. There is no moving
on. There is absolutely nothing, not even his conviction
and sentencing that makes me feel better.

The defendant?s decision to take the life of another human
being with no regard for theaffect it may have on others is
Unimaginable. The loss of my mother at just 46 years old is
incomprehensible. There will be no more birthday parties,
backyard gatherings, holiday celebrations or other family
activities to share. The laughter, hugs, guidance, advice,
sense of security and opportunities to say love you.? are

forever gone.

I stand before you today a broken person, a person who
grieves the loss of my mother. Not only for myself but also
for my brother and sister, my aunts and uncles and all of
my moms many friends. But especially for my children,
nieces and nephews thatwill never know the amazing kind

loving person their grandmother was.

Almost 10 years ago you made a choice that ripped my
family apart. As my mother lay dead on the floor you
packed up your clothes and your gun and you left. You
made multiple phones calls but did not attempt to call 911

until almost two hours after you shot my mother.

My mom?s death made it very hard to keep my faith. It
made me question how something so bad could happen to
someOne so good. i 'often think about what the last

moments of her life?were like. I have an overwhelming
sadness and a hole in my heart that can never be filled.

I This man gave my mom a death sentence. I believe the
1 sentence being imposed by the courts is unfair. The
. judicial system is flawed and it failed my family But I take
comfort In knowing that you will pay for your crimes fully,
if not in this life then in the ne-.xt

On behalf of my family, the family of Paige I wish to
convey my sincerest gratitude for alloWing this
opportunity of expression

To whom it may concern;
My name is Marc Jacques and I am the son of Paige Bennett. It is my opinion that Chyung
should stay in jail for the rest of his life. I feel as though I was given a life sentence of misery
because I am constantly haunted by thoughts about the nature of my mother's death. I do not
feel safe that Chyung could get out of jail. I do not want a killer on the streets in the same world
as my children. My life has been forever scarred by Chyung's actions. Please do not let the
system fail my family. The idea that Chyung could be out of jail any any time soon is very
damaging to my psychological state of being. Chyung ended my mother's life and in that
moment he should have permanently forfeited his freedom.

State v. Chihan Eric Chyung
Docket # KNL-CR09-0108545-T
February 19, 2019
Dear Honorable Judge,
My name is Leah Gumbs and I am one of Paige Anne Bennett's 3 children
On June 2, 2009 just days before my 20th birthday the defendant maliciously and consciously shot my
mother in her forehead, he had my beautiful mother backed into a corner with no chance for escape.
My siblings and I will always wonder why the defendant felt compelled to commit this senseless act of
violence. I honestly feel my family will never get a true explanation of what happened that night,
because the defendant doesn't have a care in the world for anyone other than himself.
I have been traumatized both physically and emotionally by her murder, and I feel as though I am
continually being victimized by having to keep reliving this nightmare in court. While nothing will ever be
able to give me my mother back, I want the chance to start to move forward. That can't happen until
there is a final judgement. This tragedy has caused my family pain and anguish that will never go away.
Will there ever be closure? Will there ever be anything that will make me feel better? I won't have the
chance to even see if those things are possible for me until this case is over. My family deserves to move
forward.
My mom was never given the chance to watch her 10 grandchildren grow up. Some weren't even born
yet when. Yesterday was her birthday which is shared with my little girl. My daughter never gets to
know the excitement of sharing her special day with her grandmother. Mom won't be there for
birthdays, holidays or any family gatherings. She is not just a phone call away when I need my mother's
advice. This horrendous crime has made it so my mother can not hug me when I'm sad or celebrate with
me when exciting new things happen. I will never again be able to see her beautiful red hair , her
freckled skin , green eyes or her compassionate smile. I will never hear her contagious laughter and will
never be able to tell her "I love you" ever again. The defendant took all of this away from not just me,
but my family, and all of the people who adored her.
I want to address the defendant directly
On June 2nd it will be 10 years since the day you committed a crime that destroyed my family. After you
beat and shot my mother you left her dead on the floor. You took your gun and your possessions and
did not call 911 until hours later. This was not an accident , you needed to come up with a lie to get
away with intentionally killing my mother. You gave my mother a death sentence. Unfortunately there
are laws that protect your life and you are not eligible for the death penalty. What is my mother's life
worth? At what point do I say, "hey I guess that's enough time to make up for the LIFETIME we get to
live without her"? Never.
Leah Gumbs
