Trial: Day 7 (2nd week)

COURT IS IN SESSION TOMORROW!

I so wish I had more to report but unfortunately I cannot be there when anyone else is testifying. All I know is who testified which included one of the first responders, some medical personnel from the first hospital he was at and the detective on the case. All I've been told really are that the puzzle pieces are coming together and the case is being well built against the defendant. Sounds good to me!

Tomorrow there is court and we were all surprised by this, the defense will start calling witnesses because the prosecutions "star" witnesses can't be there until Monday and Tuesday. It will be starting at 9:30 a.m. at Pomona courthouse (400 Civic Center Plaza #101 Pomona, CA) floor 5 department L. If anyone does want to come to the trial and watch please do not post any details on fb or any other social media site. Also while in the hallway in front of the courtroom do not talk about the case at all, this is a biggie, the jury is standing among you basically.

Oh and on a happier note I took Devin to our church's trunk or treat tonight and he made the cutest Olaf! Wasn't too interested in the games or candy he just wanted to sit on a curb and pull the leaves off a bush lol. I love this kid!!!

Trial: Day 5 (2nd week)

Unfortunately there is not much of an update tonight other then to say that there was a myriad of people on the stand today: an ex-girlfriend of the defendant, my father, a representative of disneyland, defendants mother and step-father. I'm not sure who is on the stand tomorrow but God has given me peace with the process. Please just continue to pray for the truth to come out and justice for Devin.

Tomorrow begins at 9:00 a.m. again at Pomona courthouse (400 Civic Center Plaza #101 Pomona, CA) floor 5 department L. If anyone does want to come to the trial and watch please do not post any details on fb or any other social media site. Also while in the hallway in front of the courtroom do not talk about the case at all, this is a biggie, the jury is standing among you basically.

Trial: Day 4 (2nd week)

We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Today started off with me on the stand(again) but I was finally dismissed. That doesn't mean that I won't take the stand at a later time but they are done with me for now. THANK YOU LORD ABOVE! Im just going to go on a little tangent and say that this is the hardest thing I have been through next to Devin's medical issues. The only way I've been able to go on is the support we have seen from family and friends as well as the peace that God has given to me when HE knows I need it the most. Today for example I prayed out loud the entire car ride to the courthouse, I asked for the truth to pour from my lips, I asked for peace to replace my anxiety and above all else to speak on behalf of my beautiful, perfect son since he cannot do it for himself. During one particularly stressful part, a sidebar was taken and I was sitting in the witness stand praying fervently and I asked the lord to hold my hand and guide me. I didn't physically feel his hand but he was in me and with me. Without the Lord in my life I would have just fallen apart, but with him I am so much stronger then I ever believed I was.

After lunch I was back on the stand for an hour maybe, and then it was my momma's turn. Both sides finished with her in about 2 hours so she is done for now as well. Like I've said before we do not talk details but I did ask her how she felt and she felt strong about how she did.

Tomorrow begins at 9:00 a.m Pomona courthouse (400 Civic Center Plaza #101 Pomona, CA) floor 5 department L. If anyone does want to come to the trial and watch please do not post any details on fb or any other social media site. Also while in the hallway in front of the courtroom do not talk about the case at all, this is a biggie, the jury is standing among you basically.

As far as who is testifying tomorrow there is an ex girlfriend of the defendant as well as my father.

Lots of love!!

Trial: Day 3

I know everyone is chomping at the bit for some information and I really wish I could give more. The last thing in the world we want is a mistrial and have to start all over again. With this said if anyone does want to come to the trial and watch please do not post any details on fb or any other social media site. Also while in the hallway in front of the courtroom do not talk about the case at all, this is a biggie, the jury is standing among you basically.

On to day 3, the doctor ended up being on the stand the whole day so they did not get to me again. It's killing me not to be able to hear what the doctor was saying or even be able to hear it second hand. All I have been told is it was fascinating, informative and incredibly engaging. Ugh! I am most definitely going to be requesting the transcripts when this is all over.

As most of you know the courtroom is "dark" on Fridays so our next day of testimony will be on Monday. It begins at 9:30 a.m Pomona courthouse (400 Civic Center Plaza #101 Pomona, CA) floor 5 department L.

Love to you all!
Katy

Trial: Day 2

Wow am I exhausted, I spent the entire day on the stand testifying and I'm still not done. Unfortunately I can't give you any details but I can say that that I feel like my head was put in a blender. I left feeling accomplished though! The Defense tried to trip me up and confuse me but its not easy to confuse someone who has only been saying the truth for 3 years.

Tomorrow it picks up again at 10 a.m. on the 5th floor department L. One of the doctors will be testifying and if they finish with him I will be called again. If not I will be back on the stand monday.

Thank you to all the people that came today to support us, it was wonderful being able to look back and see smiling faces encouraging me. For those of you who can't make it to any of the trial days please continue praying for truth and peace and justice for Devin.

Love to you all!

The end is in sight

Yesterday began the slow process of finding a jury that could stick around for 3 weeks and today everything officially started. After opening statements I spent over an hour on the stand and i'm due back in court tomorrow at 10 to resume my testimony. Totally nerve wracking! Thank you for all of the prayers and please keep them coming!

Katy

If anyone is interested in coming and sitting in the gallery, it picks up again tomorrow at 10 a.m. at the Pomona courthouse, 5th floor department L.

One more day… Hopefully!

The jury is scheduled to be picked tomorrow but there is still a chance that it will be postponed again. I've been warned that there are a bunch of cases that are set to begin tomorrow as well so we may not get a courtroom. Please keep our family in your prayers, we are desperate for this to start so it can be over. Three years is long enough!!!! We will try to keep everyone up to date on what is going on and if anyone has the time to come watch the trial and support our family we would definitely appreciate it.

Here are some pictures of my little stud from his 4th birthday (Sept. 27th) which was also the 3rd anniversary of his assault. The 2nd to last one is my favorite:) When did he get so big?
