Will your friend be there, maybe looking at her will help give you strength. (((Christine)))) But what you are doing will probably help put that creep away, so I hope you feel good about that.

We live in the midwest, and the DA was nice enough to pay for plane tickets for the three of us. I'd hate to ask them to pay for one more so someone could come with us and hold him. I'd feel selfish doing that. Thank you so much for your understanding. You have no idea how much that means to me.
The other girl isn't really my friend, in fact I don't know her at all. But the DA told me her story and I really wanted to help her put him away. Me hopefully getting closure is a bonus. What he did to me was done in a different state. The DA there was only going to give this guy a year because of no DNA evidence. I didn't want to bother seeing the creep again and reliving everything if he was going to only get a year. Kind of makes me feel worthless. So my case against him has been dropped. I would submit to a lie detector test for proof, but I don't think they care that much in the state where my case was to take place.
