Dear Ms. Kazen:

Please enter this letter into the parole file for Rickey Carter.  Please be advised that we

object to the possible parole of Mr. Carter at this time or at any time in the near future.   We do not know why he is being considered for parole so early in his 20 year sentence but we feel this is not the appropriate time for this consideration. Mr. Carter’s actions resulted in the death of four beautiful young women on 12-19-98 and he also destroyed the lives of  four families - families who will never be able to enjoy another Christmas season for many years to come. The loss of Mandi McWhorter, Whitney Welch, Staci Lee and Lacey Osina left everyone in Brock, Texas in complete shock and in a lasting period of grief.   We know this because we also  lost a daughter to a drunk driver on December 7, 1994.  Our hearts will always have a large hole because someone chose to drink and drive and the Christmas season will never be the same for us again.

This is not the time to release Mr. Carter from prison.

Sincerely,

 

Don & Patsy Lee
