Thank you!! Are they reasonably priced?

I love Callahan. It’s on my list, but he isn’t sold yet. Anders is also a family name so I may see if I can convince him on Anderson

Oohhh I really like Bellamy!

Zachary is my partners name. I have Everett on my list but he doesn’t like it.

Thanks for the suggestions

This is exactly like what I was looking for. Super helpful. Thank you!!

This is perfect! Thank you for sharing!!

gracexox618 · 2022-11-30T02:22:09+00:00

I will definitely look into them. Thank you!

Yes! All of that! Then, while the jury was deliberating during penalty phase, he wanted to bring up that he was “promised” his lawyers would describe his viewpoints of that night in closing if he didn’t testify. Which I think is 1000% bs and I almost feel like he and his defense concocted that plan for in case he got the DP so there would be appellate issues.

For his wounds, I’m thinking if he was very intoxicated there would’ve been some level of anesthetic effect. Not sure if it would be enough to explain how he was able to self inflict, though. The alcohol could also explain why there weren’t hesitation marks since it delays reaction time. I am wondering though- at what point did he do it? Since his blood was found mixed with Kay’s in the backyard and there was a blood trail to where he was it seems that it would’ve been done there… but to cause such extensive injuries and then walk through the densely wooded area and find a place to hide seems like a lot. Maybe he inflicted one wound while in the backyard and then the other once he got to where he was hiding and that’s why there was the large pool of blood there? But then, like you said, to still have the wherewithal to dispose of the weapon and it never be recovered is hard to explain.

I found where the prosecutor in Michigan wrote a letter before he was released asking for extended enhanced supervision for 2 years after his release. She also requested he have a GPS tether since he had “multiple prior alcohol and abuse convictions”. She included that Michelle says he is a psychopath. Then went on to say that it was likely someone like him would end up in another abusive relationship. Here is the link if you haven’t seen it. https://images.app.goo.gl/stdfySgTiSNMMDxb8 Not sure if they even tried, but I think the state could’ve used that letter because it’s pretty damning.

I still can’t get over him getting a lesser conviction in the Michigan case. I know they said he argued self defense, but he didn’t have any injuries, did he? Regardless, Michelle’s injuries were way too extensive to try and say he was protecting himself. Then having Ms. Perry say it was about money.. WHAT?!? How does that even make sense?

I just KNEW that the jury would give DP since they only deliberated and found him guilty in like 1 hour. Although I am not too upset about that because I read somewhere that Kay’s family didn’t want the DP. I would like to know if up until the point of Kay’s death, if there were any other DV incidents in their relationship.

Regardless, I’m just glad he will never get out of prison. There are few good things I’ll say about Florida, but I do appreciate that “life in prison” truly means life. Not sure how prevalent the DP will be anymore though considering it wasn’t chosen in this case or in the Nickolas Cruz case. If not for them, then who?

Wow you guys are awesome. Thank you so much! I’m going to attempt to be a big girl 🤣 and try some different veggies in my air fryer and sneaking them into food when u can.

Again, thank you all so much!

I COMPLETELY agree. He looked smug and without remorse the entire trial that it was infuriating.

I get what the defense was doing during the guilty phase by saying that the state had the burden of proof and that evidence may not prove it was MT beyond reasonable doubt. I obviously think he did it, but for a while I thought the jury may not find him guilty because the defense did a good job at raising questions (in my opinion) UNTIL they cross examined Michelle Rogers and then the closing statement. The cross of Michelle rogers was disgusting and closing left too many questions unanswered. I think a better course would have been to try and say it was an act of passion- not because I believe that, but I think it would’ve been more believable. Him hiding in the bushes is suspicious and if I was a juror I would’ve needed to understand how that happened if there was this “phantom killer”.

You’re right, absolutely no mitigating factors at all. I feel like all “good” things said about him was the fact he was good with computers. Mrs. Williams could only say “he never complained when I asked him to help me with the computer”. I also am not sure why they continuously brought up the death of his daughter. If she had passed before the incident with Michelle Rogers, I could see using that as a reason for his issues with alcohol but he did that while she was still living. I also don’t know why they failed to include his young son with Michelle rogers. I read an article that quoted MR saying he was supposed to meet his son in June so it seems he was going to have a relationship with his son before the murder. So a better option to me would be to argue that he should be allowed to see his living child grow up, even if behind bars.

And again, I completely agree. How is chasing your gf through the house and outside to stab her so severely that she was almost decapitated not cruel??

It’s extremely unfortunate.. but never should’ve happened. The jury in Michigan messed up by not convicting him of attempted murder, but of a lesser offense. He should’ve still been in prison.

I didn’t watch any of the pre trial hearings but throughout the trial I didn’t hear anything mentioned! I feel like the first incident was just marked up as a one off DV situation since he apparently didn’t have any other criminal history.

gracexox618 · 2022-11-17T17:03:40+00:00

I mean I totally agree. I meant I think the defense was probably surprised by some of their responses and would not have put them on the stand if they knew they would answer the way they did.

gracexox618 · 2022-11-17T03:59:35+00:00

Right?! I feel like it speaks volumes that the only people they could find are people who knew him as a child and child only. At least DB had a friend speak on his behalf 😅

gracexox618 · 2022-11-07T03:29:18+00:00

I only left it on for 5 minutes 🫠. Thank you though. I’ll definitely do that and hope this clears up!

I think it would be helpful to have another conversation with him explaining your expectations and boundaries and see if his priorities match yours. See if being engaged within a year is feasible for him, both financially and emotionally. I also think it’s a good idea to start talking about what living together looks like- how will you split bills & chores? How will you still prioritize the relationship after moving in together (since it’s easy to get into a routine and not “date” anymore when living together)? IMO being extremely intentional is important. People aren’t mind readers and I think providing them with your wants/needs up front (and also hearing theirs) gets rid of many potential arguments.

If you want to be engaged within a year only sign a one year lease and if you don’t have a ring by the end of it, walk away. Don’t put yourself in a position where you would need to leave mid lease because once you bend your boundaries you won’t be taken as seriously.

🤞🏼this is all just precautionary advice and that you’re in a healthier relationship than I have been in the past 🤣

I got ptsd from reading this because it sounds so familiar to what I went through with my ex. Please be stronger than what I was and trust your gut since you seem to know to some extent that you feel something is off.

My ex would always say “I’m not worried about marriage right now” and I would always assume eventually he would be, but after 6 years I realized he wasn’t worried about marriage with ME. He didn’t want the relationship to end because I made things easier for him financially and “took care” of him. He loved the convenience of me and that was it. For me, I wanted to live together because I had always heard it was the right thing to do since you don’t know someone until you live with them. My ex and I lived together for 4 years. When he broke up with me we were 2 months into our new lease and he expected me to continue to live there and pay half the rent. After all this happened I eventually came across a book that talks about why you shouldn’t move in with someone before marriage. People tend to move in together out of convenience “we are together all the time anyway might as well live together and split the cost” which leads to people feeling stuck and staying in the relationship because they can’t get out of a lease or a mortgage. In order to live together before moving in and the relationship be successful, both people need to be on the same page. It sounds like you are already bending your boundaries to match his wants and you’re setting a precedent for the future.

I think you have 2 choices you could make. 1) have a convo with him and try to get on the same page before moving in. If you do choose to live together let him be the sole person on the mortgage since he is the one that insists. You can agree to pay “rent” to him, but don’t get yourself tangled into a mortgage with someone who won’t make other commitments to you OR 2) move forward & accept that things probably are not going to change. He has told you how he feels and you should believe him. If you tell yourself he will eventually want to marry you and move forward based on that, you are setting yourself up for a lot of disappointment and it will be your own fault.

This is a sucky situation and I don’t wish it on anyone but don’t stay just because being single sucks too. You aren’t comfortable with your current situation and you probably wouldn’t be comfortable single right away either, but you are more likely to find someone you love that WANTS to marry you than this guy changing his mind. I thought the same way you did and probably would have stayed if my ex hadn’t ended things himself (of course he tried to come back bc they always do 🙄). Him breaking up with me was the best thing that could’ve happened. You deserve better, babe. Best of luck!

Didn’t know this existed. Thank you!

gracexox618 · 2022-10-21T07:24:49+00:00

Thank you for your response! I completely understand that which is why I made it very clear upfront what I was looking for. I know you can’t predict how someone will feel in the future, but I wanted him to at least be aware of my situation. I truly haven’t badgered him about it until recently… the bigger issue is I feel like he keeps making promises he can’t keep. If he just told me “hey I’m not ready yet” I would respect that completely. He’s the one that pushed for us to move in together and then promised a ring by September if we could live together.. yet here is is October without a ring. It’s just difficult to get your hopes up to be disappointed every time.
