Dear Angela McCown, Director of
Victim Services Division
I do not know Ricky Carter, nor
did I know any of the victims. I
did however see the story on the
news only 3 minutes ago and was
so touched by this story that I
immediately stopped everything
to send this e-mail.
I feel Mr. Carter should spend
his entire sentence in prison
where he belongs. Drunk driving
is one of the most selfish acts
a human can do. I believe it's
one thing to hurt yourself or
put yourself endanger by
drinking and driving, but he
robbed those young ladies and
their families. The victims will
never get married, never have
children, grandchildren or even
get to grow old.
Things Mr. Carter still has a
chance to do. As a mother, I
believe if you parole this
inmate early you will be
endangering others and justice
will not have been served unless
his ENTIRE sentence is spent
behind bars.
Please remember when reviewing
his case how many people were
affected by his selfless act,
those who knew the victims and
people like me that were touched
afterwards by only a news story.
Thank you for your time.
