ok, first of all my name is not Bernice, Bernice is my mother. i do appreciate everything you guys have posted to "help open my eyes," but like i said before.....i know they have done wrong. especially my father.....no i haven't met him to find out what he says yet, but i will. i do want to clarify some things though, i do know that the word "suicide" is being used very liberally on here. of course an 8 yr old isn't going to do that to her self...like the one lady said, she was 3 ft4 and 80lbs (no not from starvation) she was a dwarf.  im only 5'1 and like i said im 21 in another month. but anyways she couldn't reach things that was high up.... i.e. the top drawer in the dresser. so they tied a sheet on the top handle so she could pull the top open and get her own things out. (and this wasn't said to me from my mom, but also family members that have came over to visit before the death of my sister) so in theory she slipped off the bed that she use to stand on next to the dresser and somehow it got around her neck and strangled her..........hence that theory. this is why his attorney wanted a new trial. because there is a lot of small details that were left out, that all adds up in the end....now i know all is pointing to his final judgment and i know that majority is true. but i think they do need to re examine this case. there has been "new"  evidence that discredited the rape involved in this murder. as far as the semen stains on the sheet......well since we were poor, sometimes my mother had to wash sheets and clothes by hand in the sink. and she switched out sheets every so often, so i dont know for positive but how easy would it be to have protein stains still there to be shown up on their tests if my parents had sex before hand on that sheet while it was on their own bed, but then later put on necias bed? none of you was there. i was barely. like i said.......they will be the only ones to know for certain to what happened that night. so please just stop posting stuff to down grade anyone. judgment day will be upon us in the end and when that time comes god will deal with it in his own way.

and no i dont believe my dad is completely innocent either, just i think they rushed his initial trial. if im not mistaken, one of my aunts told me she went to it and he was convicted within 13 days of the first court date. (now like i said i  may be wrong on that part) but i do know it was one of the quickest trails in that county for being such a horrific case




also in case anyone was wondering, my husband re typed this so i wouldnt have so many typos and to the guy who asked if i am for real on being bernices and gussie's daughter....yes i am, i am the youngest of the 4

TRUE IF THEY DID DO WHAT EVERTHING SAYS THEN DONT U THINK MY DAD HAS PAYED ENOUGH IF U THINK ABOUT IT HE GETS FREE TV, FREE MEALS, A ROOF OVER HES HEAD , AND DON'T HAVE TO PAY TAXS . HOW IS THIS HELPING HEM  PAY SO U WANT HEM ON DEATH ROLE HOW IS THAT DEATH ROLE . SOUNDS LIKE A VACATION
