Dear
Angela McCown, Director of Victim Services Division,
I am
writing regarding the parole consideration of Ricky Carter
and request that he serve the entire 20 years. I am a
friend of one of the families who daughter was killed by his
wreckless act and attended part of the court hearings.
Seven years being locked away from family, friends, social
life, etc., does not begin to correlate with taking the
lives of four vibrant young ladies. Twenty years per death
would have been a more fair sentence, twenty years for all
four lives is a disgrace. These four young ladies had only
begun to experience life and had so much more ahead of
them. Keeping Mr. Carter incarcerated for a total of 20
years is a mere drop in the bucket compared to the lives he
took.
I am
urging you to consider keeping him locked up for 20 years as
some semblance of justice for these four families affected,
relatives, and friends. If each one of these girls lived to
be 75, Mr Carter took 236 years of life, 20 years of his
life is not too much to ask.
