    TO Danny:

    I believe you.
    You have to take what you see on TV with a grain of salt.

    God Bless you and may you find solace in every passing day for the grievous loss of your friend Joel.

    Good, because if they could do this horrible crime; what else may they be capable of. And in response to MD posting, I never rely on information provided on TV alone, but it doesn’t take a scientist to put 2 & 2 together. As I stated, this female, her mother, and her sick new husband (Matt) told these multiple versions of what occurred the night of Joel’s murder to law enforcement, and each officer testified to what story they were told in a court of law. If you are stating the truth regarding what happen, then why tell so many different versions. It’s because they are liars. Each would tell a different story, every time they realized investigators had caught them in a lie. It turns my stomach every time I think about what they cheated Joel out of; a happy productive life with his family. He deserved to live.

      i love how MD can’t even bring him or herself to post again after you ripped him or her a new asshole.

    Haven’t read the court transcripts but a mountain of circumstantial evidence is enough to convict these two people! The absence of the smoking gun is sometimes done away with when all leads point to one direction,in this case, matt and jennifer!
    Beyond reasonable doubt is the focal point of debate in this case but I tend to sway that it was indeed, resolved towards conviction. Rest in peace Joel and to his friends, may you now have peace of mind that you’ve seen justice has been served,and served well!!! Their appeals? Trash ’em!

    So i appreciate all the loving comments. But anyone who doesn’t think they should be found guilty are retarded. Prople say there wasn’t enough evidence, Hello! i lived it! anyone that says it didn’t happen is dead wrong. And as for Sexygirl, and sexy, whom i’m going to assume are the same person. What could i have possibly done in my existence to deserve comments like that? im not going to say anything even though i could be a complete jerk. I’m going to be the bigger person and just dismiss your comments as much as you should be dismissed from this thread. Anyway thanks for all the comments again. I hope to hear some POSITIVE feedback. Any people who say blah blah she’s innocent, no-one wants to hear it. So just be quiet. Anyone that knew my dad and wants to talk send a reply and i’ll see if i can contact you

      Just watched this story on ID. How tragic. My heart goes out to you, Jacob. Losing your very hard working dad to greedy people who had no thought for you, a child, is beyond words.

      I am happy to read your owns words about the good life you have. Who raised you? Are you still in SoCal? We just moved away from that area to NC last year.

      Sending very good wishes to you.

    All three kids are doing great. Jacob is a junior in High School. He got his drivers license and his own car this year. He’s playing tennis and goes to two church youth groups a week. He is getting ready to be baptized in a few weeks. He’s a good kid, and were very proud of him and the choices he makes. He looks a lot like Joel. Savannah and Emma (10 @ 8) both play sports, both play the piano, and both get excellent grades. They are aware of where there birth parents are, and we answer their questions as age appropriate as we can.
    They have a good life here.

    @TJ, it isn’t slander. It’s a matter of court record. She was convicted. Slander is a false statement designed to cause harm to a person’s reputation. Nothing false here. The detective work and the jury has spoken. That woman is a murderer, plain and simple. May she rot in jail until she dies.

    @Ihatemyname, look! Regardless of what this woman did, it doesn’t give you the right to speak to her son that way! You’re nothing but a foul mouthed little tramp! This young man has lost both his parents now and he doesn’t need some Skank such as yourself coming on here taking all your frustrations out him! Get some therapy or something! You are way out of line here and your being abusive to Jacob. I don’t know Jacob or the family but I take issue with the way you’re treating Jacob. I believe his mother is guilty but I am not going to insult Jacob. I think he’s been through enough so take your anger out on your sex toy or something and leave Jacob alone. If you can’t say anything intelligent then don’t get on here again until you grow up, JENNIFER!

    like Jennifer aka ihatemyname. No matter what any of us believe, no one has the right to speak to you like that. Of course it’s natural for you to support your mom. I for one, don’t but I’m surely not going to put you down for it or insult any member of your family. Pay these little Trolls like Jennifer ihatemyname no mind. She’s probably just ran out of Midol. ;)

    Nice try, ihatemyname aka Jennifer. Did you really think we wouldn’t figure out this is you with a different username? You truly are a brainless little skank, aren’t you? Get a life and leave Jacob alone. Troll!!!!
