Evil and corruption...

I started writing this about a year ago after Samantha made a comment to me about her wanting to die so she could see Nyosha. Just wondering if the person responsible had a clue as to how many lives he changed forever. I have added to it after seeing first hand how the justice system works or in this case fails.

Do you even know how many lives you have hurt by your senseless act? With your mentality and evilness, I don’t think you have a clue or even care. Only evil would take the life of another human being without any reason. Your meaningless action on April 29, 2012 changed and altered many lives.

Let me first start with a little 4 year old girl. This little girl loved Nyosha. She is always talking about Nyosha and how much she misses her. I have seen her write Nyosha messages and put them in envelopes and ask me to send them to Nyosha. At 4 you may not think the messages are anything of substance, but to that 4 year old it is her way of talking to her Nyosha. The message consists of Nyosha’s name and then a picture of a heart and finished with the 4 year old's name. Simple and to the point Sam loves Nyosha! This 4 year old has asked if there are phones in heaven so she can call Nyosha. This 4 year old has even said to me that she wants to die so she can see her Nyosha again. Every time she sees a picture of Nyosha she kisses her and tells me how much she misses Nyosha. She wants to know why someone hurt Nyosha. The only answer I have for her is that someone is evil and didn't care about Nyosha.

 Now let me talk about a nine year old with cerebral palsy. Nyosha spent many hours with this little girl. They were really good buddies. Nyosha would sit and play with her for hours. She loved singing and dancing with Nyosha. Nyosha would sit and help feed her, her favorite Ramen noodles. But most of all she loved just sitting right beside Nyosha and both of them would watch a movie or their favorite cartoons. While the communication is not there for this child with cerebral palsy, you can still see how when she sees a picture of Nyosha that that love is still there and wanting to know why Nyosha isn't around.

Both of these little girls are Nyosha’s cousins. There are many other cousins and many of them looked up to Nyosha because she was the oldest grandchild of Carrie and the late Larry Williams. On June 9, 2011 Carrie lost her youngest son, Larry Jr. AKA Bobcat. He drowned in a country lake. Here this mother is still in the process of grieving for her son, then she gets the news that her oldest granddaughter has been senselessly murdered. Now this grandmother has to go through burying her oldest granddaughter who was only 19 years old, only 10 months after burying her youngest son.

The list doesn't stop there with the lives that you forever changed. That list also includes four brothers and 2 sisters. Robbie, Nyeasha, Kerry, Dartaneous, Adam Jr. and La Brea will never get to see their big sister again. They won’t be able to pick up the phone and give her a call or send or receive a text message from her. Their only form of communication now is through their dreams and memories of her. Or they can post a message to her on her Facebook page, but will never ever be able to get a response back from Nyosha in any form, no comment, no like, no way for them to ever hear from her again. What kind of evil would take away their sister and for what reason?

Next there is a father and a mother that will no longer be able to see, hear or touch their beautiful daughter. They can no longer see their daughter grow into the beautiful and strong woman that they had hoped and dreamed of. They will never be able to see their daughter pursuing her dreams and working each and every day to achieve those dreams. Her dream of one day having that modeling career came to an abrupt end. Her father and mother will never get to see their daughter again. Nyosha was taken from them far too early. Nyosha will never have her dream job, or be able to get married, and she won’t be able to have any children or raise a family. Why, because one day evil appeared and decided to senselessly end any and all chances for Nyosha to live her life.

All of the people mentioned above think about Nyosha each and every day but there is one more person that your senseless act has changed and every day is a struggle for her to get through. This is Nyosha’s Aunt Candice. Candice is the one that helped Nyosha the most; she was more like a Mom to her. Candice was someone that Nyosha could always turn to. The day before your evil deed, Nyosha had asked Candice to get her a rental car, which Candice didn't have the money to do so. Now Candice feels guilty because if she had gotten her a car, maybe Nyosha wouldn't have ended up in the same car as evil. It was Candice who was feeling heavy all day on April 29^th. When she picked up her Ipad to look at the news, she just put it back down because she wasn't in the mood to read any bad news. But somehow she picked it up and there was the headline, “East St. Louis Police need help identifying body of a woman”. She read the girl had “Love is Pain” tattooed on her chest and now she knew why she was feeling heavy. It was Nyosha and she had been murdered. She tried calling Nyosha’s phone, she tried texting the phone and there was no response. Call to the police department and even though they didn't confirm it on the phone Candice knew. There isn't a day that goes by that Candice doesn't struggle with Nyosha’s murder. She knows ultimately it was evil that murdered Nyosha, but her guilt will always be there. What if she would have gotten her the rental car? Would Nyosha still be here? Did she let Nyosha down? Candice is and always will be a very kindhearted soul. Her heart breaks knowing that she will never be able to give Nyosha one of her bear hugs, nor will she be able to talk to her again and she will not be able to watch her grow into the amazing woman that she was destined to be.

On April 29^th Nyosha La Che’ White encountered evil and evil took away any and all chances for her to have a long, healthy and prosperous life. At the very young age of 19, Nyosha’s life ended and we are left with the question of Why? To make matters even worse the sentence brought down for this act of evil, was involuntary manslaughter 8 consecutive years. This by no means is JUSTICE.

On May 4, 2012 evil was charged with First Degree Murder a class M felony. Then on July 12, 2012 evil was charged with Harassment of a Witness a class 2 felony. From inside the jail cell evil was threatening the only other witness/accomplice to the murder of Nyosha. From May 4, 2012 until September 27, 2013 the case went from First Degree to Involuntary Manslaughter, why? What changed? The facts are evil took out a gun held it to the back of Nyosha’s head and pulled the trigger. Then they took everything off of Nyosha, her money, her phone, her ID, her purse and they dumped her lifeless body in the street. They proceeded to burn Nyosha’s belongings and clean the car. Evil even had the witness/accomplice burn her clothing as well. Then they proceeded along like nothing ever happened. Until guilt set in for the witness/accomplice and she notified the police. What part of any of that is involuntary? Evil voluntarily took the gun out and voluntarily pulled the trigger, he knew what he was doing and didn't have a care one about it. The witness/accomplice allegedly told the police the complete story. Evil would not admit to anything. Then sometime during the so called justice system procedures we were told evil said the gun went off because they hit a bump in the road. The gun was sent out and tested it did not have a hair trigger. To us the evidence was all wrapped up and complete so let us get on with the trial. No, we have more time waiting for judges and attorneys to get their shit together or in other words make more money by prolonging this case. Many months later they send the gun out again for testing and now it comes back with a hair trigger and because of that now they want to reduce the charge. Add to this the fact that one of the detectives was busted for a major drug ring and the judge was also busted for drugs and both of them will probably serve more time than evil. Truth be told they say 8 consecutive years for involuntary manslaughter, when actually it is 5 years for the manslaughter charge and another 3 for the harassment charge. Take a life and you get 5 years, harass a witness and you get 3, and they call that justice.

I can honestly say that I am at such a loss to this entire process. From day one of being in that interrogation room with Candice to this final day in court, the only word that comes to mind is JOKE. I remember the comment being made in the interrogation room about us watching the ID channel and the detectives saying that those shows aren't "real". Well the REAL that we were hit with today was a real smack in the face. First I don't know how many times I went up to that court, each time I left with a sinking feeling that Nyosha wouldn't get the justice that she so deserved. Why is it that today was the first day that we heard it was a rifle that was used? Why is it that when we talked to the states attorney, he told us 7 years max for involuntary manslaughter and 5 years max for harassment, then today the max was 5 and 3. So for all of you out there that watch the ID channel if you watch a show where you see a detective that works part time as a drug dealer, a judge that snorts coke, and a states attorney office that doesn't keep the family informed or gives them bogus info then that show is REAL and probably filmed in St. Clair County. 

Facts are facts, evil put a gun to the back of Nyosha’s head and pulled the trigger, dumped her body, destroyed evidence, threatened the only other person at the scene, made up lie after lie after lie and never admitted anything and that is only 5 years for taking the life of a 19 year old woman who was just beginning her life. Facts are facts, if you keep prolonging a case they will beat down the evidence and in the end justice fails and corruption's pockets are lined with the blood of many victims.
