hello everyone I am going to court tomorrow because my ex husband shook my daugther and it's his sentencing its going to be very emotional so what can I do to prepare myself mentally and emotionally I do plan on reading a letter to the judge on my reccomdations for my ex husband and what he should get please veryone I need help because i am an emotional mess right now here is what the letter says thank you so much
dear your honor
I come before you today to explain how much Mr.Dahl's actions have effected Nichole's life. In doing so I hope you find proper justice for our daughter. so we can finally have peace and closure because on August 15th, 2008 Nichole's life changed forever. when Mr. Dahl shook her he permanently robbed her from having a easy normal life. her family and I had to redefine normal for her. constant therapy appointments,seizures,medication,blindness and servere brain damage is what Nichole considers normal. Our eleven month old has already been on life support, lost vision in her left eye, has fought for her life and has seen more doctors and has had more tests done then the average child will go through in a life time. when I saw Nichole hooked up to all those wires and tubes it broke my heart knowing I couldn't hold her all I could to was talk to her and touch her. when I was told that Nichole wasn't going to make it because she wasn't waking out of her medically induced coma. that was the worst day of my life and no parent should ever have to decide rather or not to end life support and think there going to out live there child. And to this day Mr. Dahl has never once showed any remorse for his actions. he has never apologized to Nichole my family or I for all the trauma,pain,chaos he has caused. nor does he ask for updates on how Nichole is doing. now I know Chris has an excuse for what he did rather it would be, he was angry at our unstable marriage, frustrated with the constant pressure from his mom, stressed out because of our lack of money or honestly just plain didn't know why he shook her, those are just excuses. and in my eyes there is no excuse that would be logically,emotionally,mentally acceptable because I feel as though this could have been prevented because I have made it crystal clear on several occasions that he had anger management issues and that he should get help rather it would be taking medication or seeing a psychologist but every time I would bring it up he would just tell me that those things weren't for him because according to him he was fine. now I have thought long and hard about what he should get I have gone through all of my emotions he was my husband, he helped me create two amazing children and its hard because I know it wasn't pre meditated I know he wasn't planning on hurting Nichole and what I am about to say I want to make it clear that I am not asking this out of anger or am I trying to seek revenge I am asking for this because he hurt my daughter and I think he has to take responsibility for his actions. I think the right and the fair sentence that should be put into place is that Chris should get no less then five years in prison because he Hurt Nichole yes she is doing better to a extent now and I am very grateful for that however there has been alot of permanent damage done and alot of complications that has yet to be seen but guaranteed there. I think this recommendation is more then fair since we already gave him two plea bargains and I think this sentence is the only one that makes sense and is the right thing to do . and the only one that will give Nichole the justice and peace that she deserves. so after hearing this letter I hope you can understand how much Mr.Dahl's action's have effected Nichole's life and I hope you find proper justice for our daugther who almost got killed and now has to live with the side effects the rest of her life from shaken baby syndrome all thanks to a man who lost his temper for one second and who shook her thank you
