Part ~ 13 The Fight Begins

During the hearing as I said before, we three mothers became fast friends. We spoke on the phone every day and sometimes several times in one day.

Then one day the mother of the young man who was held along with my son. Told me she had gone on the internet doing searches as we all  had been doing. But this time she came across a story in a Florida news paper. She said it was eerily similar to the to the story here. A 24 year old young man was working late at a 'Subway Sandwich' shop. He had been robbed,  placed in the walk- in freezer, and then shot in the back of the head, execution style. A Co-worker found him the next morning. The story as so similar even down to the very time frame. It had been caught on the security camera. there was two perpetrators, both male, both white, but that is all they could tell. They were wearing masks so they couldn't tell what they looked like.

The Story was so similar to the one here. We knew we had found the true killers of the young man here.

We both took the story to out attorneys. They also felt as we did. That it was just too close. My attorney called it a "Cookie Cutter" crime. Our attorneys took this info to the court. And they scheduled a "Walker Hearing" It was a hearing to contest the validity of the confessions. Which we knew were false.

They held our sons for a total of 178 days. At first they were together in the mental ward section supposedly on suicide watch. together? This seemed very odd to me, that they would be held together. But I came to believe that they did it in hopes that they would talk to one another about the case. And turn on each other blaming one another. But what had happened instead, was that they became good friends, life long friends. they said nothing about the crime because they knew nothing about it. I think once the authorities realized this they decided to separate them. Perhaps they felt a new tactic was necessary...  Divide and Concur?
